This Year’s Winter Music Conference is Virtual
Winter Music Conference announces first-ever virtual program for May 20-21, 2021
In 2019 Miami saw the rebirth of one of its most iconic brands with the promise of a bright future. In 2020, the 35th anniversary of the Winter Music Conference was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The music and live events industry faced a long year of uncertainty but is now finally set to recover with events planned worldwide. (Don’t forget to take our survey on festival precautions!)
WMCV is teaming up with The Magnetic Agency Group and VRJAM to create a digital summit focused on rebuilding, rethinking, and innovation. Along with other essential industry partners, WMCV will bring together keynotes, panels, and digital exhibitor booths that will inspire, educate and reconnect. These panels will help you grow as a member of the music industry!
The 2021 WMCV summit will be a two-day event occurring on May 20-21, 2021. The conference portion on May 20th will run live keynotes, main stage panels, and networking lounges along with a grouping of digital exhibitor booths. Following the panels, there will be a networking happy hour and a virtual after-party on 5th Dimension. Day two will be a celebration of electronic music on 5th Dimension (https://www.twitch.tv/5dxr) with product demos and the official WMCV music showcase with various labels promoting new music and talent – more TBA.
