Billboard Latin Music Week 2024's 35th anniversary celebration brought together prominent artists and industry leaders at The Fillmore Miami Beach for discussions on reggaeton, music management, and catalog acquisition.

Headliner J Balvin joined hip-hop artists Fat Joe and N.O.R.E. for insightful conversations about the connection between hip-hop and reggaeton. Fat Joe emphasized how "hip hop and reggae go side by side," while N.O.R.E. highlighted his pioneering role in reggaeton with his 2004 hit "Oye Mi Canto."

Key industry topics included:

• Catalog financing and data management, with Open on Sunday's Director of Membership Anana Love stressing the importance of organized data for catalog sales
• Environmental impact in music, presented by REVERB's Director of Partnerships Tanner Watt
• Alternative revenue streams and financial management for artists
• Real estate investment opportunities for entertainers
• Work-life balance strategies for industry professionals

The four-day event (October 15-18) served as both a networking platform and educational forum, bringing together established artists, emerging talent, and business professionals to discuss the evolution and future of Latin music.
