    Wmc 2009

    Winter Music Conference Announces 2009 Dates

    Winter Music Conference
    March
    24 - 28, 2009
    Miami Beach, FL

    ***For Immediate Release***
    Friday, October 17, 2008

    Music Happens in Miami Beach, March 24 – 28, 2009 at the 24th Annual Winter Music Conference.

    Last year, 2,211 artists and DJs participated in over 537 total events presented across the greater Miami area during WMC week. Founded in 1985 as a platform for the advancement of the music industry, the WMC program includes seminars, meetings, receptions and parties throughout the week with personalities and innovators from all aspects of the business worldwide. Q&As and technical hardware/software demonstrations will be highlighted each day. Last year's program featured 227 panelists and speakers participating in more than 80 meetings, seminars, workshops and demonstrations. Overall more than 62,000 participants and 3,726 delegates from 70 countries attended, making it the largest industry program of its kind in the world. Expect an even larger turn out for 2009.
    Highlights of the 2009 program will include the IDMA’s (International Dance Music Awards), also in it’s 24th consecutive year, where the music business converges to honor the achievements of industry, artists and innovators in 50 categories. Voting will begin in November.
    WMC will also present the 2nd edition of South Beach Sessions, a bold new perspective on the traditional WMC panel program. Founded on the principles that make music compelling – individual expression, empowerment, creative thinking and collaboration – the program’s mission is to create greater exposure for artists and ideas. South Beach Sessions explores new inroads where music and art are flourishing and making a courageous difference in the world. Pioneers in music, art, fashion, technology, business, education, the environment and more convene for one of the most inspiring and epic programs of the week.
    WMC 2009 will host the 3rd edition of the Record Collector’s Show - an international hub for buyers, sellers and traders of rare and collectible vinyl, tapes, and music memorabilia which assembles the best record dealers and features some of the rarest music in the country.
    Listed below are contacts for performance & DJ participation, panels, marketing/sponsorship opportunities and press relations, so you can now begin planning your participation at WMC 2009 and take advantage of early registration, marketing and hotel discounts while they last.

    To all that have been there before.

    How far away is..
    Hyatt Regency Miami
    400 South East Second Avenue,
    Miami, Florida, USA

    I was thinking of staying here. And see that it is about 2 miles from Space...which is walking distance. But how far is that from the other festivities?

      Actually I just saw how far it was away from Collins Ave, Where it seems that most of the events take place around there.

        It looks too far away from SoBe. It'll be a pain in the ass for travelling to most of the parties. Would you not rather be closer to the action? The cab fares can get expensive going from downtown miami to south beach but their transit system isn't too bad. I preferred being in the thick of it. We practically walked everywhere.
        Awww...I didn't mean A holes, as in "A holes"...I meant it like, as in, my friends....

            Staying in SOBE can be really expensive for room and board, I usually stay downtown as I can stay in a much, much, much nicer hotel and have cheap places to eat nearby. I am saying at a 5 star hotel this year in downtown for 168/ngt - wherreas this callibre of hotel in SOBE is closer to 500.00/ngt
            I just take a cab down to SOBE and stay there until sunrise, go back to hotel and repeat. Cab fare is usually $10 to $15 each way.

              yep, somewhere around Collins in SoBe is the place to be - and farther down, like below Hispaniola. You'll have some events downtown, and if you have half a brain you'll go to Sunday School at Pawn Shop, but that's the few times you'll want to be in a cab...otherwise, walk. It's of course more expensive on Collins, but it's Miami. It's how they do, particularly during WMC.

              Or you could save your money and go to DEMF or Mutek, if you have decent taste in music...

                  plus you dont really want to be walking around downtown miami, its a bit dodgy, especailly near Space, and Space is probably the worst club out of everything that goes on during WMC anyway

                  we stay on Collins and around 17th and pay approx. 245.00 a night for a suite that sleeps 6.. a seperate bedroom with 2 double beds and pull out couch that sleeps 2.. a full kitchen, dining room and living room.. and the bar by the pool has 2 for 1 drinks from like 5-8pm

                    Sound economic thinking in the current climate - if you can put up with 6 of you that's circa Ł20 a night !

                    This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                      the place is big enough where its not that difficult really, plus everybody is basically on different schedules rarely are all 6 on the place at once..

                              I'd recommend staying in South beach. Staying on the beach is better if you want to hit up the pool parties, the beach itself and clubs in south beach. Only advantage I see from staying downtown is being close to Space, Nocturnal, etc. A pretty rough area of town at night as someone mentioned. Simply take the cab ride over to downtown and probably safer. May take awhile getting there though if there's traffic.

                              If you want to stay on the beach amongst the action and reasonably priced, try the Surfcomber on Collins.
