r, the thought-leadership platform at the heart of culture, education, industry, and wellness in Electronic music, announces today the inaugural edition of IMS Dubai. For seventeen years, IMS has united the global electronic music community in Ibiza annually to explore industry trends, innovations, and the challenges our diverse community faces. In response to the growing importance of the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region as a cultural and industry hub, IMS is expanding its presence to the United Arab Emirates and an overall region driving investment, culture and innovation in Dance music.
Supported by partners AlphaTheta and Beatport, IMS Dubai is set to take place on November 14-15 at W Hotel Dubai – Mina Seyahi. The two-day summit will bring together pioneering artists, thought leaders and key industry stakeholders to explore the intersection of music, finance, culture and technology in the MENA region. With a focus on investment, entrepreneurship, and business growth, IMS Dubai will serve as a forum for professionals and artists to explore emerging trends and capitalise on new opportunities while celebrating the innovative music and rich cultural heritage of the MENA region, spotlighting the artists, collectives, and visionaries driving its evolution.
In addition to the dynamic daytime agenda, IMS Dubai will host exclusive evening events featuring the best local and international talent. Badges for IMS Dubai will go on sale on Thursday, September 19, with discounted badges available for full-time students and under-27s.
