“Atlanta’s a great music mecca that needs to be put on the global map, much in the same way Nashville, LA and NY is. A lot of people from overseas overlook Atlanta and it’s a shame because most of the biggest stars out right now are from here,” says Julia Huie -Martin, founder and CEO, in a recent interview.  “I think Atlanta needs that injection of culture to learn about what’s going on musically in other markets, having IMC here is exciting because of the potential of people from all over the world coming together, working and making great music.”

Attending the IMC can ultimately provide conference goers with invaluable contacts and great connections.  “I will put you in the room with the relevant people. The rest is up to you,” continues Julia.
