6 Reasons Why You Should Attend:

  1. LEGACY: This Urban Network event is the longest running Conference serving the urban music community. It began in 1989 and ran annually through 2009 in areas like Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Newport Beach. After a 5 year hiatus, the Conference, under its spin-off, Urban Network Digital, partnered with Amalgamation Magazine: An Industry Quarterly, and returned to prominence in 2014, with more than 600 people attending the 2014 event in San Diego. Already, that number is expected to grow for 2015. The Urban Network Conference is a legacy brand, yet has remained relevant while facing the new challenges and issues confronting today’s music-tech savvy professional.
  1. LOGISTICS & CREDIBILITY: The Urban Network/Amalgamation Mag Music-Entertainment Conference is the only event of its kind on the West Coast that brings together artists, major and indie label execs, A&Rs, radio professionals, DJs, music publishers, songwriters, producers, digital-tech strategists, attorneys, managers, industry tastemakers, in a more intimate environment for our registrants to gain knowledge, showcase their music, and network up close with VIPs and industry professionals.
  2. MUSIC PERFORMANCES: Music is at the heart of what we do. Some 70 independent recording artists performed during the 2014 Conference. It’s a chance for artists to perform in front of industry tastemakers, A&Rs, radio personnel, music bloggers, and the like. Artists such as Tony Toni Tone, Grammy nominee Antonique, Universal Music recording artist C.J. Hilton, BET Sunday Best finalist Jessica Reedy, Gospel veteran Brent Jones, along with a bevy of newcomers like the Jazmine Sisters, singer-songwriter Steve Russell, rappers Kataztrofee, Jon Hart, Kaiser Soze, Conceptz, the Pulsar Music Group (featuring Medusa), and a talented list of acts hailing from San Diego such as harpist Mariea Antoinette, Gospel songstress Laneé Battle, Pop trio Elevé, rappers King Trick & the New Breedz, Domi Young, and much more, all brought their talents to the stage.
  3. EXPERT PANELS & WORKSHOPS: Urban Network has always been revered for its signature panel/seminar sessions. This year’s program is guaranteed to be just as compelling, with topics and themes ranging from “The Many Facets of Urban Radio”; “Today’s Rap Music Game-How to Make Money in 2015”; “Back to Basics 2, What Every Artist Should Know”; “This New Era of A&R”; “A Songwriter/Producer’s Forum”; “Understanding the Convergence of Music, Marketing & Technology in a Connected Culture”; “Gospel Meets Town Hall”; “Gospel Music & Reality Programming,” “Break The Internet: The Fundamentals of Getting Discovered and Building Your Brand Online”; “Decks, BPMs and Playlists: A DJ’s Power Panel,” and more.
