The experience
What's special
Winter Music Conference is an electronic music industry gathering held during Miami Music Week, set for March 24 to 26, 2027 at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in downtown Miami. Its International Dance Music Awards were established as part of the conference in 1985. It describes itself as a meeting place for DJs, producers, label owners, A&R teams, managers, promoters and technology brands. Three days of programming include panels, keynote interviews, hands-on workshops, a gear exhibition room, A&R pop-up sessions, networking sessions and two rooftop pool parties. The badge also carries entry to Miami Music Week events that the conference sanctions across the city.
How it works
There is a single Pro Badge covering all conference programming, networking mixers, two pool parties and free entry to sanctioned Miami Music Week events, though entry to those is subject to venue capacity. Early registration and the opening pool party are on Wednesday, March 24, from 11 am to 8 pm; programming runs Thursday and Friday, with registration from 11 am at the 14th floor desk. Bring ID matching the registered legal name. All sales are final.
Who it suits
It suits people working in or entering dance music, from producers and DJs to label, booking and promotion staff, who want panels, demo feedback from A&R teams and networking. The organizer also welcomes fans and aspiring creators. Conference programming is 18 and over, and the pool parties are strictly 21 and over. Plan on at least an hour of travel from Miami Beach to downtown during Miami Music Week.
