Third Winter Music Conference in Sochi

From February 7 to 9, the coast of Sochi will host the 3rd Winter Music Conference SWMC 2008 - the most important and the only forum for professionals and enthusiasts in the nightlife industry. The resort's air will heat up with hot discussions, current topics, fresh tracks, and the best parties. Reframing the famous slogan of the analog event in Amsterdam, the Organizers of the SWMC 2008 Conference confidently declare: 'Our Business - is to Dance.' The three-day session will bring together fans and distinguished figures in show business, over 1000 professional music journalists, artists, DJs, producers, sound engineers, promoters, technical specialists, managers, club and record label owners, internet producers, PR agents, radio and TV presenters, concert directors, booking agents, club designers and decorators, marketers, brand managers, and other important figures sharing our passion for electronic music. The conference will provide an opportunity to socialize in a relaxed setting of a winter weekend, exchange experiences, express opinions, network, discuss plans for the new business year, and simply enjoy time together. Building on the successful experience of previous years, this year's conference aims to expand the club market boundaries to the entertainment and show business industry as a whole. Like in past years, the conference expects a wide geographical representation of participants - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, Krasnodar, Rostov, Yekaterinburg, Norilsk, Novosibirsk, London, Amsterdam, Tallinn, Minsk, and Kiev - are just some cities from the final list. The third version of SWMC will take place in a new FreeStyle format, which sets an entirely new standard of hospitality, as the luxurious and probably the most comfortable and exquisite hotel on the Black Sea coast - Radisson SAS Lazurnaya Hotel - will serve as the home for SWMC 2008. Following tradition, the conference program will be divided into two parts. During the daytime activities in the spacious Forum Hall of the Radisson SAS Lazurnaya business center, there will be a series of lectures, reports, market overviews, presentations, and round tables on current topics in the club and music industry. Renowned DJs, businessmen, representatives of record labels, and invited guests will speak at the sessions. After an information-packed day, you can look forward to an equally eventful evening - signature parties, presentations, and exclusive performances in the best nightclubs and bars in Sochi, Adler, and Krasnaya Polyana. The organizers are also preparing a series of special music events that will be a true revelation for the audience well-versed in show business. The list of SWMC 2008 participants is still in the early stages of coordination, but those who participated in the 2007 forum have already inscribed their names in the new history of the entertainment industry - Agent Smith, Almazov (Bobina), Vlada, Volodya Trapeznikov, Grad, Groove, Dmitry Bobrov, Katrin Vesna, Katya Chekhova, Lebedev.TV, Leonid Rudenko, Pimenov, Tina Charles, Fonar, Arkady Air, Android, Anton Neumark, CauseLove, DJ Gariy & Zoomer, DJ Om, Feel, Fish, Romeo, R-Tem, Mike Spirit, Muza, Swanky, Vengerov & Fedoroff, X-Mode.
