MIAMI, FL. (Top40 Charts/ Miami
Music Festival) - The Miami
Music Festival has announced their initial slate of panels for the Artist Conference, covering a wide array of topics of interest to working professionals in the music industry, including digital issues, marketing, copyright, funding, licensing, recording, and more. MMF partner Urban Network will present four panels: The
Digital Revolution, Gospel Music, How to Promote & Market Your Music, and the HIP HOP Power Panel.
'Today's music industry presents tough challenges for artists and professionals alike,' said Irwin Kornfeld, Miami Music Festival CEO. 'I hope that by bringing together experts from all areas of the business - from recording to live performance; from building a fan base to turning that into financing - will give all those that attend the Miami Music Festival a real leg up in their career.'
The MMF Artist Conference events will take place during the day on November 12 and 13 at the Hyatt Regency Miami.
