Interested in Sharing Your Industry Knowledge?
Become a Panelist, Speaker, or Mentor at the 2025 Electric City Music Conference!
The Electric City Music Conference (ECMC) isn’t just about incredible live performances — it’s about empowering the next generation of artists and industry professionals. One of the most impactful parts of our event is the knowledge shared through our panels, speaker sessions, and mentoring opportunities.
Every year, we gather respected, real-world voices from across the music industry — people who’ve built careers, shaped the scene, and moved the needle. Past speakers and panelists have included booking agents, managers, label reps, tour managers, artists, promoters, media pros, and entrepreneurs who’ve worked with acts from Snoop Dogg to Motionless In White and everyone in between.
What’s in it for you?
✔️ Give back to the music community.
✔️ Share your expertise and inspire new talent.
✔️ Connect with fellow industry leaders and future collaborators.
✔️ Be part of shaping the future of independent and emerging artists.
Best of all? All educational sessions at ECMC are offered 100% FREE to attendees — so your knowledge and mentorship have a direct, no-barrier impact on artists who need it most.
