For more than a decade EMP's Pop Conference has functioned as a melting pot for fans, musicians, scholars, and journalists, and resulted in multiple publications and an ever-broadening understanding of the integral role that music plays in the human experience. These successes have secured the conference as one of the foremost venues for discussion of music in the world.
