Additionally, startups will participate in a multi-day experience connecting them with Atlanta’s tech community, music industry, artists and producers. The 2017 Startups included: Record Gram, Jammber, The UpNext, BrandSnap & RapChat. A3C launched the Startup Spotlight to help build Atlanta’s music tech community. A3C Festival & Conference has become an essential annual meetup for the music tech and hip-hop communities to network and build together. Atlanta is already the cultural capital for hip-hop artists and creatives, and the city has a strong and rapidly growing tech sector. A3C is committed to building a music tech community around the already vibrant hip-hop community. Hip-Hop is the most important, influential and often largest user-base for many music tech startups. Hip-Hop artists are early adopters and frequently the most active and engaged community on most social and music platforms. Hip-Hop, Music and Tech converge at A3C Conference. # Conference Tracks [![Buy Passes](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/73154/db0c743c-f22f-4ef4-a46e-addf6618a2d4.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/73154/db0c743c-f22f-4ef4-a46e-addf6618a2d4) ### [![](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2018%20Web%20Images/Artist_accelerator_blue@2x.png?t=1528925509476&width=100&name=Artist_accelerator_blue@2x.png "Artist_accelerator_blue@2x.png")](https://www.a3cfestival.com/artist-accelerator?utm_campaign=2017%20Shows%20Push&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9ctSbdJb7bicNP8spbRiwQAwMQr_eEBwS9DUlqkU4k49hYMtAqZR8wa0vwozc69oPRKLvz) ### Artist Accelerator #### Artists & Managers Artists connect with music industry innovators and icons to learn tips, trends and tools needed to take their career to the next level.   ### [![](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2018%20Web%20Images/Beatstars_summit_blue@2x.png?t=1528925509476&width=100&name=Beatstars_summit_blue@2x.png "Beatstars_summit_blue@2x.png")](https://www.a3cfestival.com/beatstars-summit?utm_campaign=2017%20Shows%20Push&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9ctSbdJb7bicNP8spbRiwQAwMQr_eEBwS9DUlqkU4k49hYMtAqZR8wa0vwozc69oPRKLvz) ### Beatstars Summit #### Producers & Beatmakers Music producers network with peers and experiment with the newest hardware, software and technology.   ### [![](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2018%20Web%20Images/LabelX_blue@2x.png?t=1528925509476&width=100&name=LabelX_blue@2x.png "LabelX_blue@2x.png")](https://www.a3cfestival.com/labelx?utm_campaign=2017%20Shows%20Push&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9ctSbdJb7bicNP8spbRiwQAwMQr_eEBwS9DUlqkU4k49hYMtAqZR8wa0vwozc69oPRKLvz) ### Labelx** ** #### Record Labels & Music Companies Record labels and music companies on the forefront of the music industry connect to discuss tech, trends and cultivate growth.     [![](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2018%20Web%20Images/Music_tech_blue@2x.png?t=1528925509476&width=100&name=Music_tech_blue@2x.png "Music_tech_blue@2x.png")](https://www.a3cfestival.com/music-tech?utm_campaign=2017%20Shows%20Push&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9ctSbdJb7bicNP8spbRiwQAwMQr_eEBwS9DUlqkU4k49hYMtAqZR8wa0vwozc69oPRKLvz) ### Music Tech #### Startups & Entrepreneurs Meet innovators and discover disruptive technology impacting how music makers share, create, market and monetize music.  ![The Blog Team](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/a3c17%20red%20plain-1.png) ### Written by [The Blog Team](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/the-blog-team) This is how we blog!
