as first-time guests of this wonderful event I HIGHLY recommend that any aspiring artist in the music/entertainment industry make it a point to attend this annual event...
Terry Bello did a phenomenal job hosting the four-day long conference at the Renaissance Hotel** in downtown Atlanta...
this was also me and D Ivey's first time being in Atlanta all together and although we did not get to tour the city much during the day our dining experience(s) were fantastic!
we highly recommend Ray's In the City and Silk...
Ray's is a fine seafood restaurant located in the heart of the downtown area and for all the sushi lovers Silk is definitely the place to be!
anyway...I digress...
The International Soul Music Summit is the largest music conference in the world dedicated to the soul genre; the International Soul Music Summit provides mainstream, emerging and independent soul artists, retailers, consumers and executives with information, networking opportunities, and technology on how to build noteworthy careers while continuing to make passionate, timeless music.
here are pictures from all the panels (along with the view from our hotel room ;-)
