We are thrilled to bring our Annual Music Biz Conference to Atlanta for the very first time in 2025! To help you make the most of your trip, here is some information on why we’ve chosen Atlanta as this year’s host city, the venue & surrounding neighborhood, discounts on flights & hotels, and some great places to eat near the Renaissance!

Why The Move?

Bringing our Annual Conference across the country was an important part of the Association’s first 50 years, as we held our event in more than 15 cities before booking long-term residencies in Los Angeles and Nashville starting in 2011. Hosting events in our traveling Music Biz Roadshow series over the last two years has brought us back to our roots, exploring vibrant music cities all over the U.S. to learn from & network with local professionals. In the spirit of our work to foster community & collaboration across all areas of our industry, this felt like the right time to begin bringing our flagship event to those communities and beyond!

In addition, the Music Biz Conference continues to grow annually, and now welcomes more than 2,300 global music professionals each year. Bringing the event to new host cities also allows us to grow our event space and introduce even more companies to our community.

The best part about Music Biz 2025? We’ll be utilizing most of the rooms and all of the meeting space at the Renaissance Waverly, meaning virtually EVERYONE staying at the hotel during Music Biz week will be a Music Biz 2025 attendee!
