IMS Ibiza Industry Conference Shares Initial Details And New Location For 2024

Ibiza’s International Music Summit (IMS) has revealed initial details for its 15th edition, including a new location.

For the first time, the industry conference will be jointly held at newly opened hotels Mondrian and Hyde Ibiza, which are both located in Cala Llonga, just a short walk from the beach and a 10-minute drive from Ibiza Town.

From April 24-26, 2024, IMS will aim to “unite innovators, creators, visionaries and disruptors from across the global electronic music ecosystem.” Its 2024 theme is “Rebuilding Our Community: How To Bring Back Peace, Love, Unity & Respect.”

Discussing the importance of this year’s summit, IMS co-founder Ben Turner said, “Now that the industry has (mostly) enjoyed its bounce-back, this is the real test of stability as consumer habits settle down. It is also a moment where global events have impacted the unity of our scene, presenting many with challenging decisions to make.”

IMS 2024 will be co-hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJs Pete Tong and Jaguar, who will lead the summit in breaking down and discussing a number of topics and issues relevant to the global electronic music community.

Panels announced thus far include a deep dive into the history and successes of international independent labels Ninja Tune and Defected, led by their respective founders Matt Black and Simon Dunmore; a keynote speech from Tomorrowland founder Michiel Beers; an exploration of the cultural significance of Amapiano; and more.

The program continues with IMS’ “Market Focus” discussing Germany’s thriving scene; a new “Brave Space” for sharing ideas with HE.SHE.THEY.; and a partnership with Brian Eno’s climate charity Earth Percent, in which one percent of all credential purchases will be donated to the charity.

Additional information and tickets to IMS 2024 are now available here.
