August 10 - 13 Atlantis Music Conference & Festival Set One of America's greatest platforms for discovery of new talent and the music industry's main summertime gathering place, the Atlantis Music Conference and Festival, is scheduled this year for August 10 - 13, 2005. Now in its eighth year, the annual music event will once again bring together professionals representing all sectors of the music industry and more than 300 of music's most promising new artists for 4 around-the-clock days and nights of performances, panels, parties, keynote addresses and more; all taking place in the heart of the city heralded as today's new music mecca, Atlanta, Ga. Amping up to be the event's biggest year ever, the 2005 Atlantis will further the momentum fueled by last year?s successful conference, which welcomed more than 300 artists, 3,000 registrants and 42,000 live music enthusiasts, together representing 32 states and six countries. For 2005, Atlantis organizers expect an even greater number of attendees and a broader spectrum of showcasing artists from all over the U.S. and overseas. And much like the remarkable diversity of Atlanta?s own music scene, which boasts a matchless musical heritage and is home to a number of today?s top hitmakers in urban, pop and rock music as well as trailblazing, critically acclaimed independent artists, the 2005 Atlantis will spotlight an array of genres including rock, hip-hop, singer/songwriter, soul, Latin, pop, punk, metal and R&B. http://www.atlantismusic.com
