In 12 hours time Ibiza’s International Music Summit (IMS) will kick off and Beatportal’s live blog broadcast will provide complete coverage from the exclusive dance music conference, dubbed “the G8 of dance music conferences”.

The second annual IMS event promises to be a spectacular offering of dance music discourse, as managers, label owners, agents, and figures behind some of the most prominent brands and names in dance music debate and discuss some of the most complex issues facing our scene today.

The IMS is a closed door event, with only 400 delegates invited, representing some of the dance music industry’s most important decision makers. Beatportal’s on-the-scene coverage will allow the dance music community worldwide to tune in and interact with the panelists in real time.

With second-by-second updates from guest blogger Tom Middleton and interactive polls allowing Beatportal users to get involved directly with the panels, our IMS 2009 live blog will be the only channel to tune in to for the next three days.

The full agenda for our IMS 2009 live blog coverage is after the jump.
