The Winter Music Conference 2026<\/b><\/span> returns to Miami from March 24 to 26<\/b><\/span> at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel<\/b><\/span>, during the upcoming Miami Music Week<\/i>. Now in its 36th edition, the event confirms its role as a global reference point for electronic music, technology, and education, with a renewed program that brings together professionals, artists, and creators.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The format includes two main areas: Industry<\/b><\/span>, dedicated to music professionals, and Creators<\/b><\/span>, designed for DJs, producers, and content creators. Panels, workshops, demos, and networking sessions will take place every day, along with the traditional rooftop pool parties<\/b><\/span> overlooking Biscayne Bay.<\/p>\n

Also this year, on March 26<\/b><\/span>, the Gala Bridges for Music \u00d7 International Dance Music Awards (IDMA)<\/b><\/span> will take place, combining philanthropy with awards dedicated to dance music. (The event requires a separate ticket). So, the long-awaited award ceremony will return, just like in the 2025 edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the scheduling of the next edition of Winter Music Conference Miami:<\/h3>\n

Tuesday:<\/strong> Badge Pickup & Opening Pool Party<\/p>\n

Wednesday:<\/strong> Panels, Workshops, Exhibitors & Networking Opportunities and Pool Party<\/p>\n

Thursday:<\/strong> Final Programming Sessions, Closing Pool Party, and Bridges for Music \u00d7 IDMAs Gala<\/p>\n

As always, WMC leads into the Ultra Music Festival<\/b><\/span>, which from March 27 to 29, 2026<\/b><\/span> will celebrate its 26th anniversary at Bayfront Park (we talked about it here<\/a>), turning Miami into the home of electronic music for the entire week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
