Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 4, 2004 -- A stronger program format, a more intense focus, bigger events, and a prestigious venue are all synonymous with The 2nd Southeast Urban Music Conference move to the central point of Atlantas happenings. The 2nd Annual Southeast Urban Music Conference has come back to its inaugural roots at Park Tavern located in affluent Midtown Atlanta October 18-21, 2004.

Tony Baraka, SUMC Conference Chairman, has stated The move back to where the SUMC conference began allows for SUMC to present an even more powerful conference and networking opportunity than originally anticipated. This years conference concentrates on the vital importance of the Business of Urban Entertainment" and Park Tavern allows for a more expansive opportunity for all whom attend to interact with the illustrious star panel more intimately now through the introduction of a new session called Reality Check – Are you truly ready to succeed in this industry as a Artist and/or Label Owner". Reality Check is a series of stops similar to a 3-minute dating format, but on the other side of the table are not potential date mates but focal industry personnel that can offer real knowledge and information to assist anyone who has the talent and dedication to succeed in this cut throat business…"

Tony Baraka continued to state …The date and venue change also presents a unique opportunity to allow for a tremendous cost savings benefit to everyone [only $50 before October 6, 2004] attending and eludes potential scheduling conflicts. We [SUMC] wanted to ensure that when conference attendees, panelists, and our corporate sponsors reflect back on October 18-21, 2004 that true value and a greater experience has been achieved by moving to a prestigious music and conference venue. Our previous venue was a great location, but we felt this was a better position, and it definitely gets no better than being located in the heart of HOTLANTA…"
