Miami Calling! Winter Music Conference Announces Epic 2025 Return!

Calling all electronic music lovers! Mark your calendars because the Winter Music Conference (WMC) is finally returning to Miami in 2025. This will be the first in-person conference in six years, and it promises to be a huge celebration for the industry.

Founded in 1985, WMC has grown into a national phenomenon, attracting an estimated 100,000 attendees annually. It’s a place where industry leaders, DJs, producers, and fans come together to learn, network, and party.

The 2025 conference will mark a special occasion – the 35th anniversary of WMC. The last in-person conference was held in 2019, with a planned return in 2020. Unfortunately, the global pandemic forced organizers to scrap those plans.

The 2020 edition was particularly noteworthy for its impressive lineup of speakers. Industry heavyweights like Patrick Moxey (founder of Ultra Records), Lyor Cohen (YouTube’s Global Head of Music), and the dance music duo SOFI TUKKER were all slated to appear.

While the in-person event couldn’t happen, WMC pivoted admirably, launching the first-ever virtual conference in 2020. They collaborated with VRJAM to create a unique VR-based music program, featuring virtual DJ sets from over 50 artists, including house music legend Marshall Jefferson.

Thankfully, those innovative virtual experiences are a thing of the past (for now). With the pandemic hopefully under better control, WMC is ready to return to its roots and bring the energy back to Miami in 2025.

Organizers have already begun sending out details about the upcoming conference to all previous badge holders. Stay tuned for more information as the event gets closer.
