AFTER DARK
When the sun sets at DJX, the energy doesn't fade. DJX After Dark takes you into the heart of the DJ community's most celebrated event. It's more than just music; it's an opportunity to connect and build relationships with fellow enthusiasts and industry professionals. These memorable evenings are where partnerships are formed, ideas are shared, and the DJ culture thrives. DJX After Dark is your chance to unlock new opportunities and take your business to the next level.
Your story starts with an 'All Access or VIP' pass! The average DJ attends 80% Official DJX After Dark events each season.
This is where it all comes together — community, networking, brand exposure, content creation. From social media posts to livestreaming, DJX After Dark puts your brand, and your audience, on the VIP list!
DJX '24 is excited to introduce Sunset Sessions, an added layer of the DJX Experience focused on networking and gathering, putting our community at the center of THE X. Sunset Sessions @ DJX will provide a casual setting where DJs can come together, share stories, and review the day’s events. These twilight events are more than just social hours - they provide an opportunity to decompress and transition to DJX After Dark events.
With the support of our brand partners, the Sunset Sessions will feature a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that every attendee can unwind and enjoy what DJX represents. After all, DJX is the largest, longest running, and most impactful gathering of DJs in The Americas for a reason.
