M3: Miami Music & Multimedia's photostream

M3 is the only gathering in the United States to merge music, technology, art, fashion, and multimedia as an integrated lifestyle. Part festival, part trade show, and part industry confab, M3 brings together business leaders with forward-thinking consumers to celebrate the future of entertainment. Taking place in Miami Beach during a week that traditionally draws tens of thousands of electronic music professionals and fans, M3's diverse mix of live music, technology debuts, and high-level business exchanges are recognized as the essential nexus of the week's action.

The M3 program includes:

Buzz-worthy music, art, technology, and multimedia presented in state-of-the-art environments

High-profile forums for the introduction of new products, fashions, and ideas to an international audience of industry professionals and music lovers

Comfortable, relaxed settings for industry leaders to network, broker deals, and discuss new technologies, new distribution platforms, and new business models

Who attends M3?

Artists, producers, music company executives, advertising directors, film and television music supervisors, fashion designers, video game creators and serious fans will all descend on South Beach for a week of seminars, showcases, networking, and parties. What they each have in common is a desire to both work and play hard, and they share an insatiable appetite for pop culture and the latest art, entertainment, fashion and gear.
