(PRLEAP.COM) Chicago, IL - Appropriately themed: Independent’s Day, The Chicago Music, Film, and Fashion Conference, provides opportunities for independents to showcase their abilities, network with major executives, and participate in discussions about issues that face the independent urban entrepreneur. This three day conference, which will attract recording artists, DJs, and key entertainment executives begins Friday, Feb. 29, 2008 and concludes on Sunday, Mar. 2, 2008.The conference will be held at The Chicago Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Chicago; discount hotel accommodations are available until Dec. 31, 2007.

This is the first conference of its kind that puts the spotlight on Chicago, as other Chicago conferences center themselves on a more “mainstream” celebrity presence. While the guest list is impressive, the purpose of the conference is to provide resources and workshops to budding entrepreneurs and the “almost famous” within music, fashion or film. While hosted in Chicago, the spirit of this conference is centered on the independent community of the Music, Film, and Fashion Industries and welcomes both local and national attendance.

The conference is divided into two primary days of informational panels and networking, while being capped with evening events such as a premiere fashion show, after parties, “Unsigned Hype” showcase, open mic competition, and a celebrity basketball tournament.
