WHAT IS M3?
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.

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 everyone shares is an insatiable appetite for pop culture and the latest art, entertainment, fashion and gear.

M3 HISTORY
M3 arose from the Miami Masterlist (www.m3masterlist.com), which for 7 years has been the definitive guide to all parties, showcases and live music events in Miami during “conference week.” In 2005, over 25,000 subscribers and over 100,000 unique visitors used the M3 Masterlist to plan their week. In 2004 M3 was created to produce its own high-line concert events targeting A&R scouts, music programmers and serious music fans. At the same time it introduced an world-class music and technology conference attended by leaders in the fields of music and technology, and which has received critical acclaim in wide variety of news outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, National Public Radio, the Miami Herald, and dozens of other publications around the world.
