A Letter from Leila Cobo

Dear Colleagues & Friends:

The Billboard Latin Music Conference & Awards, presented by State Farm returns for its 23rd Edition—23 years, can you believe it??—April 23-26 in Miami. As always, we are enormously proud to bring to you the biggest and longest-running conference dedicated to the Latin music industry and uniting all sectors of the business. You will hear insights from artists, managers, labels, brands, agencies, merchandisers, programmers, media executives and key decision makers. We pride ourselves on being the point of convergence for the ENTIRE industry and being a vehicle to grow and stimulate our community.

This year, we are offering a new, competitive price for all our attendees that includes access to our multiple networking events, the Billboard Latin Music Awards, the 2012 Q&A series, expanded access to the panelists, the Billboard BASH, Billboard en Concierto and much more.

After a very successful launch in 2011, we return with the Marketing Exchange, a block of programming dedicated to the ins and outs of branding, sponsorships and partnerships. This exciting afternoon will be capped off with the Second annual Music Marketing Awards. This is the first awards ceremony that honors top marketing and promotion campaigns featuring Latin artists and music (submissions are open NOW for all categories).

As always, our attendees are also our guests to the fabulous Billboard Latin Music Awards, which will air live April 26 on Telemundo from the BankUnited Center in Miami. Last year marked our highest-rated award show ever, so this is not a spectacle to be missed. The Billboard Latin Music Conference registration is your ONLY way to gain this access.

Please join us in celebrating and growing our industry together.

Los espero!
