Miami Music Week is getting a dedicated conference experience this year with the launch of Miami Music Nexus, a full-day industry event taking place on Thursday, March 26, 2026 at Midline in Wynwood, Miami at 2221 NW Miami Ct.
Produced by BLNK CNVS, the team behind two consecutive sold-out Chicago Music Nexus events, Miami Music Nexus is positioned as the premier electronic music industry conference of MMW. The concept is straightforward: a space for artists, managers, agents, and creators to actually learn and build during Music Week, rather than just party through it.
“MIDLINE is designed for the community, and hosting Miami Music Nexus during Music
Week shows how we can use our platform to elevate the industry. This is exactly the kind
of programming that makes sense for our space,” says Eric Fuller, Founder of BLNK
CNVS.
“Miami Music Week was always the natural next step for us—it’s the epicenter of dance
music in North America. We’re thrilled to partner with BLNK CNVS to bring our proven
format to Miami and create real impact for artists and industry professionals,” says Olivia
Mancuso, Co-Founder of Chicago Music Nexus.
