Billboard reports that Kelly will be among the guests at Music’s Leading Ladies Speak Out, a session that’s part of the upcoming Music Biz 2017 conference scheduled to take place May 16 in Music City.  Joining Kelly will be Julie Greenwald, the chairman and CEO of Kelly’s new record company home, Atlantic Records.
