Voting is now open for The 33rd annual International Dance Music Awards (IDMA)! By visiting wintermusicconference.com/idma/ the public will be able to participate in the voting process for dance music's longest running, most inclusive and credible awards program. This year's nominees were determined by Viberate – the world's biggest crowdsourced platform for listing and mapping the live music industry – and The IDMA Advisory Board; a panel comprised of major players within the electronic music community including notable artists, managers, agents, publicists and promoters.
The IDMA's cap off an exciting Winter Music Conference jam packed with exciting keynote speakers and panels comprised of dance music's top artists and industry luminaries. In addition daytime programming, each Winter Music Conference badge holder will also have access to attend over 20 sanctioned WMC events free of charge. Get your business done by day and blow off steam at night with parties featuring top talent including Danny Tenaglia, Chocolate Puma, Aly & Fila, Anthony Attalla, Steve Lawler, Luciano, EDX, Carl Craig, Stacey Pullen, Matthew Dear + more. The full list of WMC programming and sanctioned events is available by visiting wintermusicconference.com
Adding to the excitement, Winter Music Conference reaches new heights with the addition of the legendary Shaquille O'Neal who takes to the big stage with his managers Joe Silberzweig & Adam Richman for a conversation about his electronic music alter ego DJ Diesel and the evolution of his “Shaq's Fun House” brand. Shaquille O'Neal is one of the most dominant basketball players in NBA history and is now also one of the greatest entertainers on earth – this conversation is not to be missed!
Winter Music Conference is pleased to announce its newest partners including siriusxm, Virgin Voyages and Red Bull and recently confirmed artists including Paavo Siljamäki (Above & Beyond), a-trak, Craze, DJ Tennis and Louie Vega who will be participating at this year's event.
