Yes, underneath the week-long orgy of beats and booze, concurrent with the endless, overwhelming number of boat parties, pool parties, regular parties, afterparties, during WMC there is, actually, a conference (the "C" part!). Of course, besides getting you into a number of officially sanctioned parties (including Ultra), the badge also gets you access to the panels and workshops at official WMC headquarters, still at the Miami Beach Resort & Spa.
Anyways, the tentative schedule has been posted on the official WMC web site. As always, there's the record fair, the WMC DJ spin-off, and the Annual International Dance Music Awards.
There are some useful info sessions on digital distribution, getting your act together with podcasts, etc... And some that I would like to observe as a fly on the wall, like a "Mock Negotiations Workshop."
Check out the list here. Also, on the main site, sign up now to receive lists of official and unofficial events. The countdown begins.... -- Arielle Castillo
