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.

Testimonials

WMC is and has always been the lifeblood of the dance music scene. Never missed a year since ’96, I can’t imagine Amsterdam Dance Event or Ibiza Music Summit existing without the blueprint that WMC originated. Seeing this revived is absolutely essential to reunifying the North American scene surrounding electronic music and its fringes.

The Winter Music Conference represents a chance for Beatport to connect directly with our customer community. Having a strong conference means we have a platform to embrace the entire spectrum of electronic music culture. We are proud to support the resurgence of this great event.

Miami has always been a place I’ve considered home and WMC was essential for me and the label in many ways. From showcasing our new music to keeping up with all the new artists and releases. It was the official kickoff of the year and I’m happy to see it thriving again.

Winter Music Conference was the cream of the crop of conferences. Every label owner, label A&R, DJ and artist knew they had to go network at the Fontainebleau where the conference was hosted. The conference was not only one of the most important time of the year as it relates to dance music but it was also a place where records were broken and became summer hits. Some of my best DJ memories are from the events I played during WMC in the last 20 years.

DJ / Producer / Label Boss - Subliminal Records

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.
