Conference Overview
Our 2009 conferences will encompass everything that we believe a PRODUCER CONFERENCE should tap into NOW. If you're new to producing, it will be a great opportunity for you to learn where the industry is at now. If you're more seasoned, it will be great for you to have access to those who place music on records, films, video games, and on tv. And if you're looking to step up some of your production or engineering techniques, our specialized workshops will help you in that arena.
If you DO MUSIC and aren't limited to just urban or just pop, or any other label that really doesn't exist anymore, then the conference is the place for you. Our 8th Annual Producers Conference will encourage professional growth and creative enrichment for those who love to produce music in general. We'll kick it and have a good time too, but if you JUST want to party and hang out with celebrities, then you're money is probably better spent somewhere else, ya dig?
So, with that said, let the hit making continue and we look forward to seeing you at The 8th Annual Producers Conference!
