From March 24-29, 2015, I went for the first time to the Winter Music Conference, a week full of panels, concerts, pool parties, and DJ sets all around Miami Beach.
It was a dream come true. I was very excited about the whole thing, hoping to meet a lot of people and make new connections. It was a fabulous experience I will always remember. The Deauville Beach resort is the perfect location for the conference. It’s an ultra-stylish hotel with a very large pool and an awesome beach within walking distance.
How to GET THE MOST out of the WMC? Read below!
One thing I’d like to see at WMC is RECORD LABELS. I expected that each major label would be represented with a booth, but that was not the case. I did, however, meet a few managers promoting their artists during the panels. I know labels are looking for new music online, but I think WMC could be a great opportunity for them to discover new talent.
One of the best things about the conference is the demo listening session. You not only meet managers but also other producers like you. They listened to a minute of my song and praised the mixdown and originality of it. It was such a great moment!
This year’s panelists were:
What else do you get at WMC?
OK, if the above list is still not enough to convince you why it’s well worth flying to Miami in March to attend this conference, here are a few more reasons you’ll love:
MIAMI BEACH itself – the perfect setting for a conference. It’s so warm and pleasant in March you will not want to leave. Tons of clubs, restaurants, SPAs, and a stunningly beautiful beach with an amazing summery feeling.
POOL PARTIES – As simple as it is: Miami is the place to be in March if you LOVE dance music!
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL – ALL the World’s best DJs will be spinnin’ there.
International Dance Music Awards – Hosted by WMC. It’s the industry highlight at the center of WMC Week. All the big names (ZEDD, Steve Aoki, and Diplo just to name a few) will be there and you get the chance to meet them and give a lot of your promos away!

Hey Roberto,
fantastic description. I was so glad, that we bumped into each other in the lobby of the Deauville.
Do you have plans returning for another WMC in 2016?
Usually what I do, is decide on the spot where to go and which partys to attend, as there are soooo many options.
Cheers,
Thorsten
P.S.: Actually I didn't like this years venue at the Deauville. Hope that next years WMC we be closer to South Beach, again.
