Central to the Summit are Urban Network's informative and TOPICAL SEMINAR SESSIONS. There are nearly two-dozen panel sessions providing attendees with information on a diverse array of entertainment industry-related topics, from radio station programming, operating brick and mortar retail stores in today's online driven environment, songwriting and production know-how from some of today's top creative talent, to exploiting your artists and labels through the digital medium, to becoming a success in the HIP-HOP, R&B, AND GOSPEL GENRES.

"With Twenty-years of serving the industry, and 19 years of coordinating conferences, we are very excited about each milestone that Urban Network continues to reach," says Urban Network Publisher & CEO, Miller London. "Again, I guarantee that you will be happy about the Summit that we are coordinating for attendees. We hope that you join us in our new location at the Memphis Cook Convention Center, and the Marriott Downtown Memphis, June 11-14, and that you register both for the Summit and your hotel room early. With the early buzz that is already generating, rooms will certainly be filling up fast, and you must be registered and properly credentialed to participate. Due to these challenging economic times, we have discounted the cost of registration to $200 per person. We promise to still provide you with the industry's top players, lots of pertinent information, plenty of networking opportunities, and a chance to market your wares to some of the most important professionals in the business."
