★ International Music Summit

01중요한 이유

IMS is the only conference where the electronic music business — labels, promoters, agencies, festivals, streaming platforms, artists and the technology companies selling to all of them — negotiates its own terms in public, and its annual report is the number everyone else cites.

Late April on Ibiza is the shoulder: the weather has turned, the hotels along the east coast are opening, and the club season has not begun. That means the island is navigable, the roads are empty by summer standards, and restaurants take walk-ins.

03도착 시기

Arrive Tuesday. The programme runs Wednesday to Friday and the evenings are the point as much as the days.

04숙박 장소

Cala Llonga, on the east coast about twenty minutes from Ibiza Town, is where the summit is and where most delegates stay, in the Mondrian and Hyde complex itself or in the small hotels around the bay.

05접근성 및 환대 행사

IMS sells delegate badges directly through its website, with discounted pre-sale rates released well before the summit and prices rising as it approaches; the organiser does not publish a fixed public tariff on its front page and none is quoted here.

06사교 활동 장소

The hotel terraces above Cala Llonga carry the daytime and the sunsets; Ibiza Town, the Dalt Vila walls and the restaurants around the port and Marina Botafoch carry the nights.

The summit was founded in 2007 by Pete Tong, Ben Turner, Danny Whittle, Mark Netto and Simeon Friend, and has moved around the island as it has grown: the Ibiza Gran Hotel from 2008 to 2013, the Hard Rock Hotel from 2014 to 2019, Destino Pacha in 2022 and 2023, and Mondrian and Hyde since 2024. The digital music retailer Beatport acquired a majority stake in February 2023.
