In collaboration with AlphaTheta, IMS Ibiza is set to unveil its remarkable plan for the 15th edition in 2024. The groundbreaking summit, an amalgamation of cultural insight, educational depth, industry expertise, and wellness immersion in electronic music, reveals its grandeur through a venue that promises an unparalleled experience.

Spanning across both venues, IMS Ibiza aims to craft an atmosphere of exclusivity and intimacy, offering attending delegates access to the beach, bars, restaurants, and pool areas, fostering a setting ideal for networking and agenda immersion.
The choice of this location, just a stone’s throw away from Ibiza Town, presents a harmonious blend of inspiration and unity for the global electronic music community. Embraced by the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters and ensconced by pine-clad hills, this bay on the island’s east coast gifts breathtaking vistas and invites attendees to indulge in nature walks, harmonizing the summit’s dynamic schedule.
Over three days, IMS Ibiza will converge the trailblazers, innovators, visionaries, and disruptors of the global electronic music sphere under one roof, offering delegates an avenue to delve into the realms of music, technology, diversity & inclusion, education, and health & wellness. Helmed by the eminent BBC Radio 1 figures Pete Tong MBE and Jaguar, the summit pledges to dissect the crux of matters crucial to the electronic music fraternity.
