Urban Threshold's Annual A&R Power Summit will take place May 2nd - May 3rd 2009 in NYC.

The A&R Power Summit is one of the most vital music conferences in America. It is the only conference that focuses on the role of the A&R. Each year A&R representatives from the top labels come together to discuss the important issues affecting the music industry today.

After 4 very successful years, Urban Threshold Inc. continues to make it their top priority to bring together music professionals, artists, DJ's, fans, media outlets and more to network, build relationships and celebrate the culture and business of urban music. The A&R Power Summit combines the elements of a music conference, an informational seminar, demo shopping program and an entertainment showcase into one lively event. It also provides an invaluable talent search resource to the music industry professionals present.

For the past 4 years, some of the music industry's most influential decision makers have gathered at The A&R Power Summit to share their music business expertise with the summit's attendees.

The seminar's comprehensive program schedule of panels, workshops, and demo listening sessions address the best avenues for artists to take to get the record deal that will further their career. The event offers lively and incisive moderators, diverse participants, meaty discussions, fantastic performances and spirited debates.

"The mission of The A&R Power Summit series is to bridge the gap between the unsigned artist and the music industry. Our main endeavor is to give talented artists and producers, who have few connections or resources, the opportunity to get their music heard and the chance to receive valuable information regarding the music business," states Jesse Atkinson, CEO of Urban Threshold Inc. and founder of the A&R Power Summit.
