6 days ago 12

With Miami Music Week only a month away, Winter Music Conference has freshly unveiled its official second wave of 2026 partners and panelists.

Miami Music Week 2026 is fast approaching. As anticipation begins to swell, Winter Music Conference (WMC) — the longest-running electronic music conference — has freshly unveiled its second wave of industry programming for its upcoming 2026 installment.

WMC will take place at the official hotel partner of Miami Music Week, Downtown Miami’s Kimpton EPIC. Kicking off on Tuesday, March 24, the event will span three full days, consisting of poolside DJ sets, educational industry seminars, coveted networking opportunities, keynote speeches, and the inaugural International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) Gala. The latter will be held in partnership with South African social impact group Bridges for Music.

In the original November 2025 announcement, WMC outlined two professionally curated tracks for its attendees. The WMC // INDUSTRY track will be geared toward events, tech, and the dance music business as a whole, whereas the WMC // CREATORS track will be dedicated to those interested in developing their artist careers. Given its extensive list of reputable label partners and panelists, Winter Music Conference 2026 will surely facilitate a breeding ground for opportunity, learning, and genuine human connection.

Last month, WMC announced its first wave of official partnerships. Now, the event team has bequeathed a second wave of esteemed contributors.

In a recent announcement, WMC officially enlisted speakers and workshop leaders Sara Landry, Radio Slave, Doc Martin, Lizzy Jane, OOKAY, ALLEYCVT, Eli Goldstein from Soul Clap, and Sydney Blu, among others. As far as brand representation, the Bill Kelly and Louis Possenti-founded institution has announced new representatives from SoundCloud, Experts Only, Palm Tree Records, Ultra Records, Dirtybird, Bandsintown, StubHub, Helix Records, mau5trap, SoundOn, TikTok, Interscope, and HE.SHE.THEY. Spokespeople from the aforesaid entities will join previously announced reps from Beatport, Create Music Group, Prodigy Artists, The Circuit Group, L-Acoustics, and the Association for Electronic Music.

Winter Music Conference 2026 is shaping up to be an integral part of Miami Music Week. Those interested in attending should grab credentials while they are still available on the world-class forum’s official website.
