The five-day event will once again take place at the Intercontinental New York Times Square for a lineup of panels, workshops, showcases and more on July 8-12. “It’s been rewarding to see the growth of the Latin Music industry and the LAMC as a yearly event over the past 26 years,” said LAMC and Nacional Records founder, Tomas Cookman. “Every year we see familiar names from our industry, but also a lot of new faces.
