Atlantis Music Conference

The Atlantis Music Conference and Festival is an annual event in Atlanta, founded in 1998, that aims to educate new artists about the industry through information sessions, give them exposure through talent showcases and connect them with industry professionals through networking events. The Atlantis Music Conference’s original purpose was “to become the greatest platform for the discovery of new talent... Atlantis recognized early on, that by providing access, as well as education and opportunity through demo critiques, multiple panels and A&R exposure, artists were experiencing immediate results and going home with more than they had when they arrived. Knowledge became the key factor in bridging the gap between being good to being extraordinary!” [ [http://www.atlantismusic.com/About_Atlantis.html Atlantis 2008 - All Access. All Music.
