SESGMC - starting build up steam for June 8th & 9th Event

Valdosta Performing Arts Center

SESGMC 2011 was definitely the premier Southern Gospel Conference event in the entire southeast for 2011. It also hosted the largest Gospel award show ever to be held in the deep south!

Event co-ordinaters could not have been more grateful to the unprecedented support from artists and fans alike.

Last year hotel rooms were sold out for a 50 mile radius of the event location in Ashburn, GA! So naturally a new location needed to be found. Due to the warm response of several city officials the location was determined last fall to move the event to Valdosta, GA.

The new improved facilities would help this conference grow, and support an event of this magnitude.

Currently the artist schedules are being made up for this event. Any artist that wants to participate in the 2012 event needs to contact them as soon as possible. The schedule positions will fill up very soon.

Also the event website has already received a massive amount of votes as people are nominating their favorite artists in the multiple award categories.

Ticket reservations are now available and can be purchased from any participating artist or directly from the SESGMC offices by calling (770) 830-1682

Look for more information periodically and keep checking the event website:
