  I asked the founders of two of my favorite events (both of which I also speak at each year): Mark Willis (see Fig.
  ...
  Willis: Education, networking, and shared experience.
  ...
  Willis: When they average more hours a week practicing than socializing!
  ...
  Willis: That's most likely not going to happen until you have a well-connected team to draw the industry to your show.
  ...
  Willis: More so than anyone else.
  ...
  Willis: A four-piece local band showcasing would spend around $120: [approximately] $35 for the submission fee, $24 for parking, and $60 for food.
  ...
  Willis: Songwriting, producing, A&R, touring, promotion, distribution, legal, management, marketing, recording, Internet, and DIY and major-label options.
  ...
  Willis: I'm biased and think everyone should come here every year.

  It was a few days later when Mark Willis, the President of the Recording Academy in the Atlanta Chapter, called to talk to me.He made it clear that it wasn't the band who wanted it, but it was ME who wanted it MORE than the band.I told him that I wished I would've had a contract though and he told me something that I would become my career philosophy."Any contract can be broken in a court of law.Why hold yourself to a contract working with people that you may not want to work with and vice-versa?"He was right.If I needed to hold my band to a contract, then something was off balance.I then looked at him and asked if he held management contracts with any of his National Bands and he stated "not since my first breaking band told me that they couldn't wait to have a REAL manager!"
  
  From that day on, I have run Anziano Enterprises on the Honor-System.I work just as hard as my bands - no more, no less!

  Instead, Atlantis Music Conference & Festival co-founder Mark Willis is changing the pitch.
  
  The event, which begins its 10th edition with a kickoff party tonight, will still give unsigned musicians a chance to play for industry folks and an education in the business half of the music business.There are some differences to this year's model, though.The musical showcases have been streamlined, for starters."Accessibility, agility," Willis says succinctly, when asked what is different about Atlantis 2007."After 10 years of doing this, we decreased the set lengths for the artists and increased the number of artists per stage."
  
  "Last year, we had over 300 performing artists, we had 18 venues, 23 stages citywide," Willis continues."People were spending more time getting to the shows than in the shows."
  
  The conference aspects of the event ,- the panels, discussions, etc. ,- have all been centralized at the CW Midtown Music Complex (where Center Stage, the Loft and Vinyl are located)."We got out of the hotel business," as Willis puts it, "and out of the sterility of the hotel ballroom and back into what we are, which is having the panels, the parties, the showcases, all in the venues."
  
  In years past, the festival and the media often focused attention on the presence of major-label talent scouts (known in the industry as A&R) and the possibility of getting a big record deal.
  
  "I think we made a mistake in the past," Willis admits, "because we were seeking credibility by telling people all the acts that got signed after Atlantis.
  ...
  "I think Atlantis has been ahead of the curve since day one," Willis says.
