Vegas Music Summit 2016: Annual Event In Downtown Las Vegas Announced For Feb 4th And 5th With Artist Showcases And Industry Panels Featuring Top Industry Experts.

    LAS VEGAS, NV, January 13, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The annual Vegas Music Summit (VMS) is set for February 4th and 5th in the massively popular Fremont Entertainment District of Downtown Las Vegas. This music & media conference + festival is one of the hottest destinations to showcase prominent emerging artists and give a forum for industry experts to share insight on a diverse range of important topics.

Often compared to being an intimate version of "South By Southwest," VMS gives guests shoulder-to-shoulder access with industry executives, popular artists and two days of invaluable networking. VMS has been the home of breakthrough performances by groups like Imagine Dragons, Hot Water Music, AWOLNATION, Otherwise, and exciting appearances by top level artists. Many of the participating artists who performed at VMS garnered early industry attention, and in some cases secured record or production deals. Guests have left with insight that provided a springboard for next level industry opportunities.

The VMS industry panels will be held Thursday (2/4) and Friday (2/5) at the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino, which is the new host hotel for 2016. Each panel has been carefully curated to include discussions on the most important topics in today's music industry. Key subjects of discussion will include social media, touring, licensing, legal, music production and more. Guest panelists come from some of the industries top companies, including Warner Music Group, Red Bull, Warner/Chappell, ASCAP, Disney and Live Nation.

Music showcases will be held both nights and artists will be announced throughout the month via the official VMS website and Social Media.

"This annual music business networking conference (think South by Southwest, but much smaller) offered strong programming both day and night, fulfilling its mission of giving independent artists the chance to perform for industry professionals as well as to interact with those same insiders during workshops and mixers.

Given that rare opportunity to connect with A&R reps, producers, promoters and bookers--at the end of the "A&R at the Majors" panel, reps from Virgin Records and Hollywood Records actually offered to listen to demo." - Vegas Seven Magazine
