International Music Summit to reach a peak at W Singapore

W SINGAPORE – Sentosa Cove will this December become the stage for the Asian edition of the International Music Summit (IMS), which has its roots in the electronic music capital of Ibiza.

Come December 11, IMS Asia-Pacific will bring together the leaders of the electronic music genre from this region and the West for a series of panel discussions, keynote interviews and speeches, workshops, and tutorials.

Discussions will be relevant to the Asia-Pacific region and feature input from headline talent, regional industry icons, as well as big-name players from around the world.

IMS co-founder, Ben Turner, said: “This event has been created to unite the Asia-Pacific industry but also to educate and entertain delegates from around the world about this incredible frontier which is finally opening up in a huge way to electronic music culture.”

The event was also deliberately scheduled to coincide with Singapore’s annual ZoukOut dance festival. Said Turner: “We’ve positioned ourselves the day before the ZoukOut to help further the focus on this festival into a powerful business forum, and Zouk’s founder Lincoln Cheng has been a guiding light for all the IMS partners for the last 20 years.

“It is a huge honour for us to bring IMS to Asia-Pacific and to help galvanise this region for the future of the genre we know and love.”

The decision to hold the event at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove is an extension of IMS’ existing agreement with W Hotels Worldwide.

Arnaud Champenois, Asia-Pacific senior brand director, commented in a release: “To celebrate this partnership, we have also prepared a series of happenings that will feature an industry icon and headlining talent at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove and W Retreat & Spa Bali, Seminyak.”
