Brazilian Pop superstar, Anitta, whose single "Me Gusta" feat. Cardi B and Myke Towers just debuted at No.5 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and three-time Grammy winning songwriter, producer and lead singer of the multi- platinum band OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder, will partake in a one-on-one conversation about working together on Anitta's forthcoming album, Girl From Rio, and much more. Puerto Rican rapper and Billboard Latin Music Awards finalist Anuel AA will be joined by his close friend, Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx, to talk about their upcoming joint music and film projects, including a documentary on Anuel's life, produced by Anuel, Foxx, and RD Whittington.

Global Latin music superstar and activist Becky G will join Jorge and Hernan Hernandez from Los Tigres del Norte, the 15-Time GRAMMY/LATIN GRAMMY winning legends reverently known as 'the voice of the people', to discuss the role artists currently play in engaging voters and the immigrant experience as seen by two generations of iconic Mexican American artists. Reggaeton star Nicky Jam will discuss the process behind his songs with Billboard's Latin Industry Lead Leila Cobo for the "Sony ATV Iconic Songwriter" panel. Latin urban superstar Wisin will also be joined by top Latin music executive Walter Kolm to chat about how the two have joined forces and expanded into their own label operations.
