Beatport has set September 25, 2026 for Beatport Connect LA at the W Hollywood and named its first wave of speakers. Confirmed names include Beatport CEO Matt Gralen, Billboard's Katie Bain, Insomniac's Matt Denuzzo and Kyle Arthur Gilhuys, Ninja Tune's Maddy Savage, SoundCloud's Maurice Slade, and artists MPH, Kitty Amor, salute and Wuki, alongside management and agency figures from WME, JET Management and Three Six Zero. The one-day summit splits into two tracks: one on cultural and technological shifts in electronic music, the other on practical artist career development. For producers and DJs building a career rather than just a catalog, sessions like these are where booking, sync and management relationships actually start. Beatport says more speakers and panels are still to come, so check the Connect LA page for the full schedule as it fills in.
