The International Music Summit (IMS) is a global conference that focuses on the electronic music industry, connecting professionals, artists, and innovators from around the world. Established in 2007 by Pete Tong, Ben Turner and other prominent figures in the industry, IMS has become a critical platform for shaping the future of electronic music, offering panels, keynote talks and networking opportunities. Over the years, it has expanded to host events in key cultural hubs like Ibiza, Los Angeles, and now Dubai, which marks its first foray into the MENA region. This year’s edition will take place at the W Hotel Dubai.

The International Music Summit (IMS) Dubai has unveiled its highly anticipated nighttime program for the inaugural edition, taking place on November 14th and the 15th.
