What's billed as "the biggest event in the world for cutting-edge Latin music" will return to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from July 6th - 10th.  Featuring leading artists and music industry professionals, the Latin Alternative Music Festival is now in its 11^th year - and registration, which opens today, is a cost-efficient (and economy-nodding) $99. Seriously, look around at some of the other festivals that take place this summer and you're talking 250-300 bucks for those.

"We are very excited to be celebrating and sponsoring this year's 11th anniversary of the Latin Alternative Music Conference," said Joseph Carvajal, Hispanic Brand Marketing Manager, Jack Daniel's USA (with whom the LAMC partners). "The LAMC represents a great opportunity for Jack Daniel's to honor, connect and celebrate with thousands of friends in and outside of the music industry, who value and respect the fraternity, authenticity and independence that Latin alternative music has to offer everyone."

Among the events planned for LAMC 2010 are free concerts at Central Park SummerStage and Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell, as well as numerous industry panels, showcases and film screenings for LAMC registrants.

Past conferences have averaged more than 1,250 music industry attendees and 25,000 concert fans each year, networking with artists, labels, journalists, marketers and the like while taking in scores of performances. In the past artists such as Manu Chao and Café Tacuba have put on electrifying concerts and each year the LAMC seems to get stronger.

Panels and concert information will be announced in the coming months.
