Music Entrepreneur presents MECon—a one-day experience that equips independent artists and creative entrepreneurs with mindset tools and industry knowledge to succeed in today’s evolving music landscape. 

First launched at Harvard and featured in Forbes, MECon returns in partnership with NYC’s Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment. World Artists United brings together leading voices from across the industry—including experts in business development, fan engagement, and music production—to deliver practical insights that help artists cultivate an unstoppable mindset, navigate live experiences, and reach the next level. Learn how to pitch better, capture audience data, and accelerate your business. 

A signature session, “The Anatomy of a Hit Song,” led by Jalen James Acosta, producer and Latin hitmaker, welcomes the legendary Jerry Wonda—the Grammy-winning producer and hitmaker behind some of the most successful songs in modern music. Selected artists will perform their best track and receive live, on-the-spot feedback as Jerry and Jalen break down what can truly make it a hit. 

The day begins with a motivational keynote and ends with a vibrant networking reception. 

You bring the vision. We bring the village.
