The International Music Summit (IMS), a music conference aimed at the dance music community, will mark its tenth anniversary in 2017.

Taking place 24-26 May at the Hard Rock Hotel in Ibiza, the event is a three-day inspirational and educational platform held annually in the dance music capital.

IMS speakers over the decade have included David Lynch, Quincy Jones, Chuck D, P.Diddy plus every major DJ on the planet.

Ben Turner, co-founder, IMS, said: ‘We wanted to put a professional face to the island of Ibiza, the global dance music destination that defined our genre.

‘We ended up focusing on the world. From Los Angeles to Shanghai, IMS has reached a key landmark in its lifespan and we can’t wait to celebrate this decade by looking forwards, not back. The genre has exploded during our ten years and we’re happy to have grown around the world in parallel.’

IMS Ibiza takes place during the island’s opening season week, with a multitude of high profile events in iconic venues including Pacha, DC10, Amnesia and Ushuaia featuring the world’s biggest DJs.
