The guest participants at Track Meet represent a diverse and talented group of independent music creatives and audio engineers from Greater Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Southern California—all united by a shared commitment to artistic growth and industry advancement.
Many attendees also contributed to the Independent Music Community Needs Assessment conducted in 2023 by Symphoni Music Group, LLC, under the leadership of Sabella Reyes.
Findings from this assessment revealed that a majority of participants expressed a strong need for structured artistic development, as well as access to creative networking spaces and advanced professional development resources.
Track Meet was designed in direct response to these needs, delivering targeted workshops, mentorship, and meaningful industry connections tailored to support the next generation of independent music professionals.

The "Grandmaster Class:"
Avant Media Institute and our Board of Directors invited guest participants to partake in the beta assessment of our new, signature event; Track Meet: The Independent Music Summit of The Year.
The Track Meet (2024) guest participant class list was composed of 25 independent artists, producers, audio engineers, managers, and DJ’s; making up The Track Meet “Grandmaster Class.”
These guest participants gathered from The Greater Houston Area, Atlanta, and Chicago to attend the two-day summit.
The Grandmaster Class not only provided honest feedback regarding the framework of the Track Meet experience, but they also brought to life the sense of comradery needed within the independent music community today. These guest participants were instrumental in helping us understand the general challenges commonly faced by independent music creators and their teams during their developmental journey. It's because of the Grandmaster Class' feedback and participation Track Meet (2025) will be even better. We are very thankful for them.
