"Do the math: Thousands of international industry professionals at the annual Winter Music Conference coupled with tens of thousands of spring breakers equals millions in disposable income. Small wonder this year's conference week is bigger than ever - 327 events at 88 venues in seven days, in Miami Beach alone, according to the city's official count."
Evelyn McDonnell, March 2006
The Miami Herald
"For two weeks every year, Miami opens its doors to the Winter Music Conference and the city gets ready to party. Everyone who's anyone in the world dance scene decamps to Florida to get a first listen at the big tunes predicted for the summer and, of course, to enjoy some fun in the sun. I had always been enthralled by the tales of decadent parties and scores of DJs with future hit records to unleash on the crowds. If you've got cash to spare and energy to match then Miami's the place to be."
Stuart Barrie, April 2006
Daily Record, UK
"It's been a major date in every European DJ's and label's diary for a long time..I think Miami has chosen a good direction in concentrating on it's ability to launch new things and be a very creative source."
John Digweed, March 2005
The Miami Herald
"The annual Winter Music Conference in Miami is the biggest U.S. festival dedicated to dance music.Between the daytime poolside parties, the early evening parties, the late night parties, and the crack of dawn after-parties, there was no rest for the wicked. I was only there for three days, and I still need a week (or two) to recover."
Tricia Romano, March 2005
The Village Voice
"This weeklong gathering of the electronic music masses is spectacularly indulgent, gloriously overpriced, and undeniably around-the-clock fun. The event is among the top electronic music draws in the world. Time to start checking flights for next year."
