Travis Kirschbaum
Beatport
Director, Industry Partnerships
Panels
Few professionals bridge the gap between “industry veteran” and “dance floor mainstay” as seamlessly as Travis. With 25+ years in the fast-paced entertainment media sector, he currently helms Industry Partnerships for Beatport, where he scales operations for 100,000+ labels and manages a staggering volume of weekly content. His journey started in the trenches of San Francisco’s early 90s nightlife, DJing storied venues like DV8, The Trocadero, and King Street Garage before he was even 20. That foundational passion has since seen him sharing lineups with a “who’s who” of electronic greats, including DJ Harvey, Craig Richards, Tony Humphries, Paranoid London, and the Idjut Boys.
