If you're a fan of hip-hop related cinema and black films such as New Jack City, Paid in Full, Krush Groove, Boyz in the Hood, or Higher Learning, you'll definitely want to check out this panel to see what some of the industry's brightest minds have to say about the evolution of the "urban cinema" genre over the years.
9. “Talent Discovery & The Disc to Digital Paradigm”, Friday @ 10:30am
Not so long of ago, the power of discovering and nurturing new talent within the music industry was the work of a very highly selected few; these people were called A&Rs. As we enter over a decade of digital music, this panel aims to discuss the dying occupation as well as the pro's and con's of such instant fame opportunities.
8. “Bloggers, Pop Culture & Revenue”, Friday @ 3pm
Blogging is a business honey, and if anyone knows that, it's the talented Karen Civil. Join the discussion as she, along with other hip hop and pop culture bloggers discuss the decisions to monetize their blogs and all the ridiculously hard work that comes with maintaining the biggest websites in the game.
7. “Reality TV – Pros & Cons”, Saturday @ 12pm
Hip Hop has been the blame of societal problems since the genre was first introduced in the early 80's, but in the Love and Hip Hop era, is reality television painting the culture in a more negative light, or is the art just an imitation of life? Lend an ear, voice an opinion and share your thoughts, is reality tv too good to be true?
6. “Hip Hop & Society: The Social + Political Impact of the Music”, Friday @ 9am
As stated above, there are often social and political spillovers from both the positive and negative content that hip hop produces. On Friday morning, this panel will examine those spillovers and analyze the media portrayal of urban music in an attempt to quantify whether or not the genre is unfairly getting a bad rap, or if the criticisms are warranted.
5. “Hip Hop’s Influence on Education with Dr. Steve Perry” Saturday @ 10:30am
How do you feel about a little hip hop in your education? What about a little education in your hip hop? If you're still on the fence, don't fret, Saturday's early morning panel with Dr. Steve Perry discusses the correlation between the two and analyzes the relationship that hip hop influencers have on today's young minds.
4. “Sports, Entertainment & Culture”, Saturday @ 4pm
One of the timeliest panels presented by the expo, this Saturday afternoon discussion is centered around the relationships between the cultures of sports and entertainment; examining what behaviors or negative aspects are often overlooked for the price of a new album or potential Super Bowl.

2. "Community, Police, and Tech", Saturday @ 3pm
With the rise of police brutality in the past few years, specifically targeted events that resulted in the murders of several young black men within 2014 alone, the Source does social responsibility the right way.
