Sharpening your skills, learning and networking with each other are important sources of motivation and the key to success in the DJ industry. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, these are 5 major tech events and conferences around the world you should attend.
The big benefit of these events is that you get to meet and talk with famous, experienced artists in the spirit of “sharing is caring”: those artists act as “masters” who share with the newcomers, giving them the drive to push forward and grow their music careers.
Let’s run through 5 tech events and DJ conferences you should attend “once in your life”!
Wired Music Week (Malaysia + WMW Sessions)
Wired Music Week is the biggest music conference in Asia, held every March in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It brings together a huge number of local and international artists, especially world-famous record labels and professionals from the global music industry.
Alongside the main event, a side event that is part of WMW’s long-term programme, Wired Music Week Sessions, also takes place in several Asian countries, including in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Best of all, after a day of work and learning, the nights bring a series of parties as part of the event at Malaysia’s biggest clubs, such as Zouk KL , one of the top nightclubs in the whole country.
Wired Music Week Session also takes place in many countries across Asia, including Vietnam. WMW Session was created for people who can’t make it to the main WMW event for one reason or another. The second season of WMW Session Vietnam is about to kick off this September, and MUSE INC. encourages you to go!
Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE)
The world’s hottest series of music events, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), surely needs little introduction. It takes place every year in the second half of the year (October) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
ADE is packed with fun and useful activities, not only for talented new DJs and producers entering the industry: it also draws huge interest from the media and electronic music professionals worldwide, especially thanks to after-parties featuring many of the biggest artists on the planet.
ADE is also the moment when the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs ranking is officially announced every year.
Miami Winter Music Conference (WMC)
Part of Miami Music Week, held every March in Miami, Florida, the Winter Music Conference is a special music conference that takes place in the last days of winter, just before summer arrives. It brings together a great many artists and music industry experts.
The Winter Music Conference runs during the first 3 days of MMW, before the build-up to the opening of the massive Ultra Music Festival.
Dancefair
Dancefair is a special conference for DJs, producers and music production professionals, held in the Netherlands.
Here you can join plenty of masterclasses by famous artists, who openly share how they make their music with young people who share the same passion.
NAMM Show
NAMM Show is an annual event for the music technology and audio communities, a bridge between audio technology companies and businesses, music producers and, above all, DJs from around the world. It takes place every January in Anaheim, California, and attracts more than 100,000 visitors.
DJ Phatbeatz, CEO of MUSE INC, had the honour of attending this special event, not only as a guest of the NAMM Show but also as DENON DJ’s representative for Vietnam, performing and touring across the United States in cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland.
