From Grammy-winner Dave Audé as opener & keynote, to Cova, Stephanie Rivkin, and Joe Bunn, here’s just a bit of what’s to come for DJX ’23
Atlantic City, N.J. – Set for August 7-10 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., DJX will bring the entire DJ industry together with its winning combo of new technologies, education, and sponsored After Dark events.
Produced by DJ LIFE magazine and Hazan Media Group, DJX will present a showfloor full of the latest DJ-related products (audio, lighting, studio, accessories, etc.), a slate of 30-plus seminars, panels, and keynotes tackling the latest vital topics, and nightly parties featuring top DJ talent. Operating since 1990, DJX is the longest-running and most-impactful trade show/event in the North American DJ industry. Whether you’re a mobile jock, club DJ, bedroom spinner or home-studio music maker, DJX ’23 will have something for you.
For Starters: DJX’23 will kick off its After Dark series of evening events by presenting Grammy-Award-winning DJ/producer/artist Dave Audé at the HQ2 Nightclub at the Ocean Casino Resort on Monday, Aug. 7. Additionally, the prolific talent will participate in a special DJX “Keynote Q&A” back at the Hard Rock on the following day, Tuesday, Aug. 8.
By his own estimation, DJ/producer Audé has made more than 1,500 remixes. By the record book, he’s created 135 No. 1 Billboard Dance tracks – more than any remixer in history. He’s worked on songs from the very biggest acts in the pop, rock, country, dance, R&B, and hip-hop genres – from Madonna to U2 and everyone in between… Adele, Lizzo, Lady Gaga and so many more. In addition to several Grammy-Award nominations, he earned his award in 2016 for his remix of “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars. It’s been quite a career so far, and Audé will put his talents on display and discuss his amazing journey at DJX ’23.
Other Seminar Highlights: Looking for the next phase in social media? Twitch Partner DJ Cova has answers and he’ll examine what it all means for DJs in his session, “Gig Vlogs: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your DJ Business.” Featuring a panel of top DJ/influencers like Cleveland Terry, Nick Spinelli, and DJ Barr, the seminar will explain how to document your events via socials, but also how to build your brand through vlogging.
Speaking of branding… in her detail-rich tutorial, “Be Yourself: A Guide to Building Your Personal Brand,” Connecticut-based DJ Stephanie Rivkin will show DJs why personalizing your brand is part of a powerful strategy to attract your ideal client. She’ll show how building your personal brand enables you to build trust, stand out from competitors, boost brand awareness, and increase conversion rates. If you want success, it’s up to you to build that brand. In the end, she’ll explain how to showcase the real you.
For mobile DJs looking to gain useful, money-making ideas that they can take back to their markets, DJX presents “The DJ’s Vault Live: Pro Tips from the Pros.” Moderated by Joe Bunn of the North Carolina-based Bunn DJ Company, this session will include a pair of New Jersey-based industry OGs – Mike Walter of Elite Entertainment and Jason Jani of SCE Event Group – who will discuss marketing, selling, hiring, training, performance and more. How did these guys climb the ladder and how do they stay on top? Bring your questions and prepare to be enlightened.
