The Las Vegas DJ Show Sept. 10 – 12 2012

The ADJA is proud to announce their third annual educational conference , With a new year comes a new name. “The Las Vegas DJ Show“, to take place September 10th – 12th in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada.  This show is sponsored by American DJ, Promo Only, Denon, Pioneer & NLFX Professional as well as ADJA and The Current Audition.

Once again, the best and brightest in educational leadership will be “on hand” with the industries most cutting-edge seminars that will change the landscape of DJ education. Building upon the successes of our second education conference this past year, our goal is for every attendee to feel rejuvenated and empowered with the most impressive knowledge-based conference ever!

We will offer five simultaneous tracks of education – tracks on Performance, Business, Multi System Operations, Technology and Turntablism. With a total of thirty five seminars, this year’s educational multi-track will offer attendees the widest array of topics that are sure to inspire and motivate you to take your business to the next level.

Last year we made a promise that the Las Vegas Hilton would be the finest hotel to ever play host to a DJ conference. The best way to measure this promise is to simply ask anyone who attended. The response from attendees was overwhelming. The Las Vegas Hilton is a world-class resort hotel that far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

With a beautiful Exhibit Hall featuring more than fifty companies showcasing the latest gear and newest innovations our industry has to offer – this event promises to be the “don’t miss” event of 2012. Like last year, the Exhibit Hall is “free to attend”, so too are the networking events like our Sponsored Pool Party or the fabulous night out at the Marquee.  This year we have once again arranged for a great Pool Party and to treat all conference attendees to a VIP “all Access” pass for an awesome party at the stunning Marquee night Club where you will be treated to top name entertainment for FREE, plus you will receive an open bar with your conference pass for the first hour!  How cool is that?  The multi-track educational seminars represent the only fee for this amazing DJ show.

The event is open to everyone and until the end of 2011, EVERYONE can get a pass for only $49 per person.  Members and non members alike. After the first of the year prices will go up so don’t miss this great opportunity.  Non-members also have the opportunity to purchase a show pass that includes a one-year membership in the ADJA for only $249. It’s a great opportunity for your DJ business to take a major step forward in 2012.

Once again the ADJA is leading the way in delivering the finest Education Conference & DJ show in the nation. The Las Vegas DJ Show is sure to re-ignite our industry and set a standard by which all others will be measured.

Visit the “official” conference website at TheLasVegasDJShow.com for more details as they become available.

If you haven’t seen Vegas in Summer, you haven’t seen Vegas!
