Thursday, March 14th, 2019 |

This month, an icon is reborn. With just over a week away, Winter Music Conference (WMC) returns to the shores of Miami Beach with a refreshed perspective. Ahead of the conference, we’re launching our brand-new WMC 2019 trailer. Watch it in full above.

Originally launched in 1985, WMC is the longest-running music convention focused on the electronic music industry and today stands as one of the most iconic brands in the global dance music world, an entire business it helped launch and legitimize. Every year during March in Miami Beach, WMC brings together leading industry professionals, record labels, artists, and thought leaders from across the world to discuss the issues of today and the trends of tomorrow via thoughtful programming, in-depth panels, game-changing keynote speakers, and intimate seminars.

The newly relaunched WMC has officially joined the Miami Music Week (MMW) family. To celebrate, we are offering free access to more than 20 sanctioned MMW parties, in addition to the plethora of amenities and events that come with your WMC 2019 badges, including panels and keynotes, DJ/production workshops, product demos, networking mixers, and much more.

WMC 2019 returns to Miami Beach to bring together a new generation of industry professionals and music consumers for a week of unforgettable experiences, insightful programming, and thought-provoking talks. The newly envisioned WMC will now offer two distinct segments targeted at industry professionals as well as music consumers looking to learn more about this exciting industry and the music, technology, and culture that powers it.

Watch the WMC 2019 trailer in full above and get your WMC badges now to get access to all the industry knowledge and late-night partying you’ll need this Miami season.

Testimonials

I’m so glad to see WMC rebooted with such thoughtful content and first-class curation. It’s been a long time since the industry had a must-do American event and this is it. The reborn WMC!

Before there was Ultra Music Festival, there was The Winter Music Conference, the annual coming together of the dance music tribes. Miami in March is a fundamental place to be from a business perspective, and has always given me endless opportunities for discovering new partnerships and talent. WMC brings together the dance music industry and surrounding culture like no other event in America. I’ve been attending WMC for nearly 20 years, and I’m very much looking forward to experiencing its evolution in 2019.


Matt Colon

Director, North America - YM&U Music

Winter Music Conference is my ground zero. It has always provided the perfect storm of opportunity and excitement for up and coming artists, including myself back in 2003, where I first caught a glimpse of how it felt to have an audience respond to my work. Over the years, I’ve always made it a point to have WMC in my calendar because that’s the spot where everyone congregates and you can feel it in the air. Creativity, brother and sisterhood, FUN and most of all the chance to come together as a community and celebrate the reason we are all here—the music.”

DJ/Producer

Having only missed the very first year of WMC in 1985, it was 1986-1990 that initially placed me on the map globally due to the international attendance of the entire dance music community. All throughout the 90s I was often getting written about by various high profile mags and websites for having contributed to help break many artists, DJs, producers and remixers. WMC enabled me to bring many top industry people together all under one roof, especially at Groove Jet, where house music officially met Techno in my sets and it’s all been uphill since…TBC


Danny Tenaglia

DJ, Producer

I feel fortunate to have been part of the first-ever WMC. Over the 35 years, it has grown to give us an international forum where we exchange music and ideas. As an attendee and host of many of the award shows, I am proud each time I see new young talent emerge and then become world-renowned. We all have so many Winter Music Conference moments of hearing a seminal breakthrough record for the first time as well as a new DJ with star quality. Magical moments in my career.
