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.
