A major aspect of the event will always be seminars, panel discussions, and workshops as we strongly believe through education comes better music, better performers, and better businessmen and women.
We are pleased to add a film component to the conference now as well as additional aspects of the art & entertainment industry
Saving the music and educating children - the next generation of musicians & DJs - in our schools is an important project we support by donating a portion of the proceeds to the Baltimore City School System Music & Arts Programs.
The BMC is proud to partner with the Music 4 More to help educate our youth!

About me: ..
WHAT IS THE BALTIMORE MUSIC CONFERENCE?
A showcase of Baltimore and of Music of course!
The Baltimore Music Conference has been established to enhance the visibility of Baltimore as a center for the music industry and the general public to gather together to discover local, regional, national, and international talent.
Situated between Philadelphia & Washington, DC and more widely between New York & Florida, Baltimore's location is the perfect place to draw the entire east coast together as well as the world!
The seminars and workshops serve to educate the musician, the DJ, and the public. The artists serve to entertain you.
The BMC serves to bring it all together!
Our showcases host several stages featuring the talents of musicians and bands of all genres playing predominantly original material and DJs spinning the hottest music out in all genres of electronic dance music. All bringing the finest music to Baltimore.
The Baltimore Music Conference continues to bring recognition to music here in Baltimore as well as worldwide and to those that make it happen!
Add in educational forums, artists, vendors, film, dancers, plus more and you have undoubtedly, the hottest four day event in the Mid-Atlantic region!
One part music festival and one part educational conference, both presenting promotional, marketing, vending and networking opportunities for all. 2008’s event was held at several visible downtown venues all around town. Some are known for large up-scale events, some more underground. Some host concert series and some are charming and quaint. Much like the BMC though, all are known to draw a varied and diverse consumer demographic as this annual event promises to continue to bring recognition to music here in Baltimore as well as worldwide and to those that make it happen!!
