Join us for the grand finale of WMC, where we honor the trailblazers of the electronic music industry at the much anticipated International Dance Music Awards.

For nearly four decades, the IDMAs have recognized the artists, creators, and industry leaders shaping the global electronic music scene. This year, the awards return to close Winter Music Conference 2026.

From 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, some of the most renowned names in dance music will be celebrated as the IDMAs will present accolades to this year’s top innovators.

Categories include Best Song (Dance), Label, Festival, Club and Event Series of the Year, as well as categories for Artist and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. You can check out the nominees on the Winter Music Conference Instagram.
