The International Music Summit takes place every year in Ibiza at the end of May, many see it as the start of the Ibiza summer season as the club’s shortly follow with their opening parties the same week.

The Ibiza International Music Summit has announced its strongest line up of panels and guest speakers since its founding five years ago. With representatives from the most exciting emerging technologies, joining the leading dance executives and world renowned artists, this promises to be the most engaging and focused event yet.

Ben Turner, co-founder and IMS partner said: “IMS is so excited about this year’s line-up starting with the news of Nile Rodgers coming to Ibiza to talk about his incredible history at a crucial time for him. He has just confirmed he’s on production duties for Daft Punk so it’s also a very special moment to get time with him. Aside from this, we have visionaries from Twitter, You Tube, Vice and Foursquare coming, plus the strongest artist speakers we’ve had in five years. Electronic music is in a huge position of strength, so this year’s theme is Connections Count, as we open the doors to some of the biggest partnership companies around. Come to IMS Ibiza and make it count.”
