Programme drops for IMS conference

Here are the topics and guests coming to Destino Pacha Resort next month.

Overseen by hosts Pete Tong and Jaguar, three-days of purposeful conversation and connection kick-off on Wednesday 27 April as International Music Summit (IMS) returns.

After two frustrating years, the conference finally debuts at Destino Pacha Resort.

Dubbed In Pursuit Of Purpose, the programme for the 13th edition is out now.

Following two years of devastation to the nighttime economy, the pandemic and recovery from it, are likely to form a huge part of the discussion.

Key artist interviews are scheduled from Jamie Jones, Kerri Chandler, Duran Duran, Radio 1 on air talents Jaguar and Sarah Story, Ukrainian DJ Nastia and the legendary Laurent Garnier.

There will also be addresses from figures at the world's leading platforms, including YouTube, Tik TokBeatport and even the United Nations.

Other participants making their presence felt are Lady Of The House, L' Acoustics and Pixelynx. Meanwhile, partners and regular contributors shesaid.so, Point Blank and Art Of ARETÉ are also back.

As usual, it's shaping up to be a diverse affair. To view the full programme, head here.

If we don't see you at the conference, then we hope to catch you on the dancefloor at either IMS Grand Finale, Defected weekender or both!
