If you're hungry for more conferences to attend after our first part last week, you're going to want to read about two more must attend events below. And don't forget that we'll have our third and final part at the end of this week on Friday. Let us know in the comments below about your favorite and least favorite parts about attending DJ conferences.
Meet The DJ
Where: Resorts Casino Tunica, Robinsonville, Mississippi
When: May 16, 2016
This conference is geared towards bridging the gap between the DJs and the artists. If you're an artist, you will learn how to promote your music properly through radio DJs from panels of established DJs. If you're a DJ, you'll be able to hear the next wave of new artists as well as network with other DJs. They plan on having several A&Rs (CEO M.I.A.M.I. Mike, Angela Richardson, Bigga Rankin) as well as DJs from the CRDJ crew (Ms. Hypnotique, DJ Bigg V, DJ Chill Will, Tampa Mystic) among other radio DJs (J. Samuels, DJ Q).
NAMM
Where: Nashville Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee
When: June 23-25, 2016
Standing for National Association of Music Merchants, NAMM organizes one of the largest music related expos of any kind. It covers musical products, recording technology, sound, and lighting. The not for profit organization has been around for 115 years so they definitely know what they're doing. They hold two conferences a year--one in the winter and one in the summer.
