The conference provides a unique opportunity for artists, booking agents, concert promoters, producers, singers, songwriters and others involved with the music industry to network with executives in the field.    

OM MYRON FEARS told ALL ACCESS, “This is our third conference.  Each year, the event gets better and better!  We’re excited to have MATHEW KNOWLES, CEO of MUSIC WORLD ENTERTAINMENT, as one of our special guest speakers. He will share his secrets to success and how he built the careers of BEYONCÉ and DESTINY’s CHILD. TRAVIS O’GUIN, CEO of STRANGE MUSIC, is a walking music book. His insights and knowledge is impeccable. He’ll share his infinite wisdom on how he built the number one independent music label in the world.   I’m confident that our attendees will be supplied with great information about the music industry.”

“We’ve partnered with KANSAS CITY VOLUNTEER LAWYERS AND ACCOUNTANTS OF THE ARTS, a local organization that specializes in helping artists with business plans, contracts and legal matters.
