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.

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!
Are you going to the International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza? If so, how are you getting there? The Hepatitis C Trust has teamed up with the IMS 2010 and is running the first ever ‘GET TESTED! Mission.’ Want to get on board? The mission is to travel from London Bridge, UK to the summit in Ibiza. There is a catch though, this is a road trip, no planes allowed.
The Hepatitis C Trust is the only national UK charity devoted to hepatitis C. It runs a range of services that provide support, information, and representation for people with hepatitis C. It is also committed to raising awareness and lowering the stigma of this widespread disease amongst the general population.
There are many ways of contracting hepatitis C, however, the hedonistic environment and lifestyle associated with partying/clubbing and the music industry as a whole puts many people unwittingly at risk from contracting the disease.
Poker PR are looking forward to the IMS which has been created by six leading professionals (including Pete Tong) to help re-set the agenda for electronic music culture, at a time when the industry needs it most. Set at a special location in Ibiza, the IMS covers three intense days of business programming, networking and activity leading straight into the official opening weekend of the Ibiza season.
