Biography
Emerge Music and Impact Conference began with a bold vision: unite diverse genres and voices to spotlight emerging talent while supporting meaningful causes. The inaugural edition in November 2017 unfolded across several iconic Las Vegas venues along the Strip, including Hard Rock Hotel, Brooklyn Bowl, Caesars Palace, and Harrah’s. This multi-venue approach reflected EMERGE’s festival spirit: a city-wide, cross-genre experience designed to introduce up-and-coming artists to new audiences in a high-energy environment.
After a postponement following the Route 91 Harvest tragedy, EMERGE returned in April 2018, running April 6–8 with a focus on fundraising and community programming. Proceeds benefited the Las Vegas victims’ fund, underscoring the conference’s commitment to social impact as part of its artistic mission. High-profile moments, media coverage from Noisey/VICE, and coverage across Las Vegas outlets helped amplify the festival’s message of empathy, collaboration, and artistic exploration.
