This June, Las Vegas will once again welcome Insomniac‘s Electric Daisy Carnival along with all the EDC Week festivities.

The EDMbiz Conference & Expo. And, according to an announcement today, the roster of speakers for 2016’s conference should make for quite an impactful gathering.

“As the dance music industry continues to evolve, its influence is felt across mainstream radio, the festival scene, and pop culture in general,” said Pasquale Rotella, Insomniac Founder and CEO in the press release. “This year’s conference will bring together top artists, executives, and experience-makers to share ideas and discuss innovative ways to continue the momentum and provide invaluable advice for newcomers on how to make their mark on the scene.”

He’s got that right. With artists like Laidback Luke, Paul Oakenfold and Markus Schulz along with rising stars like Jauz and Marshmello, the music-makers themselves will have a voice on the panel. EDM veteran Moby will take part in a rare keynote presentation, and Pasquale himself will sit down for his first keynote to discuss his view of the industry now, future plans for Insomniac, and where he sees the culture heading. And, Billboard‘s John Amato and Matt Medved will be debuting its Dance Power Players 2016 list, “acknowledging the cultural impact of the most powerful tastemakers in dance music this year.”

East coast origin, West coast lifestyle… Growing up I was always surrounded by the sounds of dance music in New York and Florida. However, it wasn’t until college that I was introduced to the rave scene and finally experienced the love and positivity this community is all about. I’m into warehouse undergrounds and massives like Ultra Miami, TomorrowWorld, Nocturnal Wonderland, Hard Day of the Dead, and Buku Music & Art Festival… In addition to EDM, my playlists usually have a lot of Hip-Hop, Top 40 and I’m a huge sucker for throwbacks. Hit me up if you’re attending an event in the Hollywood/LA area, as I’m always open to making new friends!
