The PMC is widely recognized throughout the music industry for attracting
some of the hottest new signed and unsigned acts in the US and abroad. With
over 200 showcasing bands in over 20 venues spread over 3 days, registrants
have come from all areas of the music industry, including major and indie
labels, top managers, booking agents, media and 20,000 of the best music
fans in the world. Some artists performing at last year's event have gone
on to secure major recording contracts, a couple of these artists include:
Tidewater Grain (Ruff Nation) and Vocal Pointe (Dreamworks). National acts
like The Push Stars (Capitol), The Sheila Divine (Roadrunner) and The
Rustic Overtones (Arista) drew heavy crowds to showcase their soon to be
released records.

During the day is where the PMC truly shines. Last year's PMC was fortunate
to have Allen Kovac, (Left Bank) speak on the first day of the conference.
The following day, Alan Parsons, (Writer, Producer, Abbey Road Studios)
gave an informative, enlightening address. On the final day of the
conference, Steve Lerner (Wind Up) rounded out three days of dynamic
keynote addresses with his own unique view on today's music industry. Over
thirty-five panels took place featuring over thirty-five A&R
representatives from the top major labels and the most aggressive
independent labels. Panelists last year included, Dave Wolter (Virgin
Records), Rick Goetz (Lava), Lennie Johnson (TVT), Greg Hammer (Universal
Records), Nick Casinelli (Atlantic Records), Mike Taylor (Maverick
Records), Pete Ganbarg (Arista Records), Chris Schwartz (Ruff Nation), Max
Nichols (Tommy Boy Records), Andy Martin (Deep South Records), Allan Tepper
(Warner-Chappell), Theda Sanford-Waller (Billboard Magazine), Thaddeus Rudd
(Jeff McClusky Promotions), Jerry Lembo (Lembo Entertainment Group), Raymon
O'Neal (Blaze Magazine), Phil and Joe Niccolo (Studio 4), Matt Greenberg
(Grubman, Indursky & Schindler), Erin Riley (Naras), and Seth Price
(EZCD.com).

Whether you play Alt. Rock, Hip Hop, Hardcore, Folk and Electronica or
anything else in-between, you'll want to show your stuff at PMC 2000. Add
to this a very cool trade show and informative panels, you've got the first
must-do events of the new millenium.
