IMS is less than two weeks away and we can't wait! Today they've released the full action-packed schedule of events and there really is something for everyone.
Kicking off with a tribute to the dearly departed Avicii, it's appropriate that a good chunk of the conference will be dedicated to wellbeing and wellness within the industry.
Other important topics such as sexual harassment, streaming and how to get a good night sleep will also be covered.
Future-focused panels will introduce the music industry to the blockchain and it's potentially revolutionary effect on the music industry.
Of course there will be some big artist interviews including legends Todd Terry, Deadmau5, Andy C and our very own Bradley Gunn Raver!
