We’ve just returned from what we believe to be the best International Music Summit conference to date. The event excelled itself from last year with regards to the list of delegates, speakers, and panel subjects.
It’s the only electronic music conference where the best in the industry all come together to talk, well… business, which is why the event’s tagline ‘back to business’ is so very apt. This is not a big party in Ibiza, this is about people coming together to share ideas, make new contacts, engage with existing ones, and to come away feeling invigorated about our industry. The Grand Finale held at the stunning setting of Dalt Villa, with Pete Tong, Mark Ronson, and Buraka Som Sistema was yet again an example of quality and originality from the events organisers.
The conference provided an invaulable platform to launch our new Burn Studios project to a group of enthusiasts and professionals allowing us to gather on-the-spot feedback. And our IMS iPhone App built by our company Scribble received hundreds of downloads and much positive feedback.
Myself and Poker MD David Mitchell met a load of faces old and new. We’d be delighted to hear from you all again so please get in touch.

Live from the IMS Conference in sunny Ibiza we’ve just officially announced the launch of a cutting edge creative community platform – Burn Studios.
Supported by leading producers and brought to fruition by Burn energy drink Burn Studios will be a global destination where professionals and raw talent can come together to share musical brilliance, have access to authentic state-of-the-art music making tools, link into support of tailored mentoring sessions by some of the biggest names in electronic music and connect creatively with peers through a cloud-based digital platform.
International producers Richie Hawtin -and Cassius have agreed to become Ambassadors for the platform, making Burn Studios the hottest property available to anyone with a desire in up-front music making.
Cassius is also creating the IMS Ibiza 2010 anthem which will then be remixed by Arthur Baker. When finished anyone can download the parts to create their own remix. The winning remixer will have their track released on Cassius’ label.
So far it looks like the concept is going down well. 85.7% of the audience here at the IMS said they would be up to join the mentoring part of the programme and 68.9% agreed that cloud technology will have a significant impact on music. As such we would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Come and speak to us or contact us through Twitter@pokerpr or leave a comment and tell us what you think.
Poker PR has uprooted from the offices in England to embark on one of the most forward thinking electronic music conferences of our time – the International Music Summit.
This is our second year at the conference founded by Ben Turner of Graphite Media and Radio 1’s Pete Tong among others. Our involvement this year is three fold. Let me explain.
Poker MD David Mitchell will speak on a panel this afternoon at 17:10-18:10 titled “Our Community is Our Brand” alongside heavyweight www.beatport.com and the innovative social music store www.mflow.com
Poker’s latest project ‘Burn Studios’ will be unveiled during the event from 11:10-11:40 on Thursday 27th May in a live press conference. We’ll be there to answer all your questions on this ground breaking new project.
And lastly, Poker’s sister company Scribble has built the iPhone App for the conference. Anyone can download the app for free in the app store and gain access to live news feeds, program schedules, event info, plus music and video content and much more.
If you’re at the conference and fancy hooking up, contact us via Twitter @pokerpr. See you by the pool!
