IMS Ibiza reveals new destination for 2024

IMS Ibiza, renowned as a leading platform bridging culture, education, industry, and wellness within electronic music, reveals initial details for its 15th summit. This edition marks a unique shift to the recently opened Mondrian Ibiza and Hyde Ibiza hotels in the serene Cala Llonga, hosting activities across both venues.

Privatizing these hotels exclusively for attendees fosters an intimate environment amid stunning surroundings. Just a short distance from Ibiza Town, this new venue offers a picturesque setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, inviting the global electronic music community for networking and discussions amidst breathtaking natural beauty.

Across three days, IMS Ibiza will bring together pioneers, creators, and disruptors from the electronic music realm. The summit will delve into music innovation, technology, diversity, education, and health. Hosted by Pete Tong MBE and Jaguar, it promises to dissect pivotal issues in the industry.

“IMS continues with our third and most important edition since the pandemic, but also our 15th event in Ibiza. Now that the industry has (mostly) enjoyed its bounce-back, this is the real test of stability as consumer habits settle down. It is also a moment where global events have impacted the unity of our scene, presenting many with challenging decisions to make. IMS also moves to a new property in Cala Llonga, a stunning part of our magical island that is now home to the new Mondrian Ibiza and Hyde Ibiza hotels, and now IMS. We can’t wait to host everybody again and continue to help set and drive the conversation.”

Ben Turner (IMS co-founder and lead curator)

Sessions will spotlight Ninja Tune‘s journey and Coldcut‘s inspiration for an equitable label, explore Tomorrowland‘s evolution and its philanthropic endeavours, address industry values in turbulent times, and celebrate Amapiano’s global impact. Additionally, discussions will reflect on Defected Records‘ 25-year trajectory post-acquisition and highlight Germany’s thriving music scene.

The summit integrates well-being experiences daily, emphasizing mental and physical health, co-curated by experts in meditation and sound therapy. It will also feature a Brave Space by He.She.They, fostering open dialogues on inclusivity and respect.

Partnering with EarthPercent, IMS Ibiza pledges a portion of delegate badge purchases and event sponsor levies towards climate action. This aligns with their commitment to support impactful climate and biodiversity organizations, vetted by a renowned Expert Advisory Panel.

 “We’re delighted that IMS have made the pledge of 1% contributions to EarthPercent. The funds will go towards some of the most impactful climate and environmental solutions around the world. We’re in the middle of the most challenging crisis we will ever face and the music industry has an amazing opportunity to champion action. It’s hard to know what to do but we know that uniting voices, values, and funds can make a huge difference so we’d love others to join IMS in the movement too.” 

 Brian Eno (Artist and co-founder of EarthPercent)

Delving further into the theme of IMS Ibiza 2024 and the current state of electronic music worldwide, Rebuilding Our Community: How To Bring Back Peace, Love, Unity & Respect will explore ways to honour and reinstate industry values during times of community division, as seen amid the aftermath of recent global events.

Beyond these sessions, delegates can immerse themselves in exclusive island events, including the iconic IMS Dalt Vila closing celebration. Delegate badges, hotel accommodations, and discounted rates for eligible attendees are available through the IMS website, encouraging sustainable travel practices for a vibrant and engaging summit experience.
