Black Coffee and deadmau5 are speaking at IMS Ibiza

The International Music Summit (IMS) is back in Ibiza on May 23 and 69 speakers for the event have just been announced.

Black Coffee will feature as part of Meet Team Black Coffee, in which he'll be joined by his International Manager Lionel Marciano and his African Manager Amaru Da Costa to discuss his path to success, troubles he's encountered and what's next in his career. Also featuring in this will be Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa founder Yann Pissenem.

Another session will be In The Studio... with deadmau5. In this the artist will join IMS from his studio in Canada to share insights into his productions techniques.

Other artists speaking include Paco Osuna and Tamer Malki from Bedouin, who take part in the Great Annual Ibiza Debate, and Mark Knight who will be joined by his brother Stuart to talk about their label Toolroom.

Sexual Harassment In DJ Culture, presented by shesaid.so, will address what's being done about it, talking to Mixmag freelancer and Guardian writer Kate Hutchinson and Carly Wilford from SISTER Collective.

We'll be at IMS for Mixmag's 5 Under 25, talking to young visionaries who are making a mark in the electronic music industry.

If you reckon you've got what it takes to make a change in the industry, the Visionaries and Accelerator contests are for you. Apply here by March 21 to enter.

Other panels include 25 Years of Sónar Festival: Shaping Underground Culture and 25 Years Of Positiva Records. Fiona Measham from drug safety organisation will also be at IMS to discuss the merits of drug testing.

Pete Tong, who co-founded IMS, said: “Entering our 11th year, it’s vital for IMS Ibiza to assemble the best and brightest minds in the industry to debate the issues that affect us most and to discuss routes to progress and succeed.

"I’m really proud to announce our latest wave of speakers, who represent all sides of the electronic music industry, from accomplished leaders who bring a wealth of experience through to the new generation who bring fresh ideas and thinking to push our genre forwards. We look forward to welcoming all to IMS Ibiza in May.”

Once again IMS will throw a party at Dalt Vila, welcoming the likes of Nastia, Sven Väth, Peggy Gou and Jackmaster.
