25,000+ Concert Fans To Music Industry Panels and Sold-Out Concerts

With a warm welcome from the Big Apple, the biggest event in the world for cutting-edge Latin music will return to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from July 8th - 12th. Featuring leading artists as well as many of the music industry’s most prominent decision-makers, the ninth annual LAMC is a "must play" event for developing and established acts alike.

"Major music events like the 9th Annual Latin Alternative Music Conference draws music fans from around the world to New York City," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "Through the work of the Latin Media and Entertainment Commission, New York has been able to attract and retain major Latin events generating millions in economic activity for our City. As we continue to showcase the talent and rich cultural diversity of Nueva York, hosting events like the LAMC helps us as we stake our claim as the Latin media and entertainment capital of the world."

Among the events planned for LAMC 2008 are free concerts at Central Park SummerStage and Celebrate Brooklyn Festival, as well as numerous showcases, industry panels, film screenings and art exhibits for LAMC registrants. With past conferences averaging more than 1,250 music industry attendees and 25,000 concert fans each year, LAMC 2008 promises to be an exciting year. This five-day conference providing networking opportunities with the genre’s leading artists, label executives, journalists, marketers, managers, retailers and programmers, is the most extensive to be offered by a music conference to date.

LAMC will return for its second year to Mexico City and Buenos Aires on September 5th and September 25th/26th, respectively.

Influences:

"The LAMC has emerged as the top showcase for up-and-coming Latin acts."
- ASSOCIATED PRESS

"Despite changing tastes and sounds, the Latin Alternative Music Conference still provides a necessary outlet."
- BILLBOARD

" LAMC is to Latin alternative the way the Sundance Film Festival is to indie movies."
- ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

"As far as the cutting-edge curators of the Latin Alternative Music Conference are concerned, reggaeton was so five years ago. Way back during LAMC's inaugural 2000 event, they introduced stateside music fans to the then-untapped Puerto Rican dance beat."
- NY DAILY NEWS

"Since it began in 2000, the LAMC has been rallying the musicians and business people seeking to promote innovative music - rock, pop, electronica and hip-hop merged with local traditions. It has placed its hopes on the quality of the music, in the mainstream acceptance of Latin hybrids by hitmakers like Shakira, and in the inevitability of demographic changes that are creating a young, bilingual audience."
- NEW YORK TIMES
