All the Business-Focused Panels at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week
From superstar Q&As to panels that help you understand the business of music, there’s something for everyone at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week, with programming that covers every aspect of the industry.
This year, a handful of business-focused panels will feature a mix of executives and artists who will take centerstage to break down elements of their business. One of them being From Clubs to Stadiums featuring Feid presented by Live Nation, which will take place on Monday (Oct. 14) with speakers like Feid, his manager Luis Villamizar and Live Nation’s Hans Schafer explaining why a number of Latin acts are now playing stadiums, the Colombian hitmaker being one of those artists.
Also on Monday, regional Mexican singer-songwriter Eden Muñoz, Colombian hitmaker Keityn and renowned producer Sergio George will take the stage for Why Are There 50 Writers On My Song? — a conversation, set to be moderated by Pierre Hachar, managing partner, The Hachar Law Group, that will explores and asks the sometimes uncomfortable question of: who should get songwriter credit and why?
The 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week is returning from Oct. 14 to 18 at the Fillmore Miami Beach in Miami with a star-studded lineup of more than 70 artists. This year, celebrating its 35th anniversary, Latin Music Week welcomes an array of global artists including J Balvin, Young Miko, Alejandro Sanz, NMIXX, Thalía, Maria Becerra, Gloria Estefan, Pepe Aguilar, Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida’s Jesús Ortiz Paz, and many more.
