Beatport, the world’s largest music store for DJs, is bringing its global conference series to Los Angeles this September, offering a full day of inspiration, connection, and cutting-edge discussion for electronic music professionals. Beatport Connect L.A. takes place on Friday, September 26, 2025, at the W Hotel Hollywood, and promises to be a landmark gathering for emerging artists, record labels, and industry leaders.

 

The event has announced its second wave of speakers, joining previously confirmed heavyweights including Sofi Tukker, DJ Minx, Katie Bain, Moody Jones, Josh Love, Gregory Alexander, and Claire Wright. New additions to the roster include Andrew Kesley (Liaison Artists), Beatriz Rodriguez (Three Six Zero), Francis Mercier, Kelly Lee Owens, Lola Leslie (Naviro) and many more.

 

Set against the iconic backdrop of Hollywood, the day-long conference will feature panel discussions on topics shaping the industry today, including AI in music production, breaking through in the attention economy, and navigating burnout. “Los Angeles has long been a creative and strategic hub for Beatport, it’s where many of our team are based, and where our connection to the electronic music community runs deep,” said Beatport CEO Robb McDaniels. “With Beatport Connect: L.A., we’re not only investing in the future of the scene but also creating space for emerging artists, labels, and professionals to build meaningful connections.”

Attendees will enjoy access to a sunset networking event on the WET Deck and a late-night Beatport Live show at The Loft, presented in collaboration with Insomniac Records. Evening tickets will also be available separately for those who want to extend the experience into the night.
