Did you know that October is New Orleans Music Month? Besides live shows and neighborhood festivals throughout the city, the local music economy has much more to offer! As a Latin music artist manager and a member of The Recording Academy, Memphis Chapter, also known as the Grammys, my overall goal is to expose all the music resources New Orleans has to offer to local Latin music artists who want to educate themselves in their musical journey. One of those resources is NOLA MusiCon, an extraordinary three-day event that brings together music industry professionals and enthusiasts in the vibrant cultural city of New Orleans. As the city thrives with life and sound, NOLA MusiCon 2024 is a hub of creativity, collaboration, and education, promising to elevate your music knowledge to new levels.
The first year’s conference was successful, drawing in registrants from 22 states, Canada, and the UK. Attendees engaged in diverse sessions that covered essential topics like songwriting and promotion. “I hope that attendees come away from the conference with useful and actionable information to further their career in the industry,” said Executive Producer of NOLA MusiCon, Melissa O’Brien.
NOLA MusiCon is not just a music conference; it’s a comprehensive resource designed to cater to artists at every stage of their careers. Whether you’re a budding artist or a seasoned professional looking to expand your business, this conference offers many insights through workshops and networking opportunities, ensuring you have all the tools you need to succeed.
“The magical combination of culture, music, food, and history creates an environment that sparks creativity,” adds O’Brien about the unique influence New Orleans infuses the conference with.
In addition to informative sessions, attendees will benefit from hands-on demos and engaging interviews with industry thought leaders who will share their secrets for success. One of our objectives is to highlight New Orleans as a viable place for the music industry to grow. The city’s unique blend of culture, music, food, and history creates a creative environment.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative experience! Register now for NOLA MusiCon 2024, from October 28th to 30th, at the New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District. For more information, visit nolamusicon.com.
