Billboard Latin Music Week 2025: 5 Key Panels For Emerging Artists

Billboard Latin Music Week 2025 is right around the corner. Ahead of the weeklong event — kicking off Oct. 20 at Miami’s The Filmore, with three days dedicated to panels, fireside chats, roundtables and Q&As — we’re breaking down five panels that are key specifically for emerging artists to attend.

Educational conversations, which only take place at Latin Music Week, can offer an insight to how the industry works, and tools and resources for rising artists who want to take their music careers to the next level. Whether you are Latin U.S.-based or coming from different parts of the world, these panels — featuring music executives, established and emerging Latin acts alike — will not only give you an insider perspective, but are catered to mainly help you understand the industry better.

Spanning 30 years, Latin Music Week is the most important and largest annual gathering of Latin artists and industry executives in the world. This year, the roster includes a number of Latin stars confirmed to speak, including Carín León, Ivy Queen, Kali Uchis, Laura Pausini, Gloria Estefan, Danny Ocean, Ozuna, Olga Tañón, Pablo Alborán and Xavi, to name a few.

The full programming schedule and ticket sales are available at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com. Latin Music Week also coincides with the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, set to air Thursday, Oct. 23, on Telemundo and Peacock.
