Grimes will talk about electronic music’s intersection with AI, technology and the metaverse.
The one and only Grimes will be speaking at IMS Ibiza this year after being confirmed for special keynote exploring artificial intelligence.
Founded by Pete Tong, the International Music Summit is a three-day conference and thought leadership hub for electronic music and its intersection with technology, culture, education and wellness. 2023’s edition will mark the event’s 14th edition.
Last year, Nile Rodgers, George Clinton and the Pet Shop Boys closed out IMS with impactful presentations. This year, the innovative Grimes will discuss artificial intelligence, music tech and the metaverse. An outspoken proponent of AI and the future of Web3, she’s a prime example of how electronic music artists can adopt technology to unlock new opportunities.

Grimes will also be performing, according to a statement shared by IMS co-founder and lead curator Ben Turner.
“Grimes is one of the most important, impactful, and creative artists of our times,” Turner said in a press release shared with EDM.com. “A true visionary—sonically, lyrically, philosophically… and then there’s that angelic voice. It is a true honor to host her at IMS for our final keynote interview in what is a rare visit to Ibiza.”
IMS Ibiza 2023 will take place at the Destino Pacha Resort, which will be private and exclusive to the conference’s attendees. Innovators, creators and disruptors across the electronic music space will share crucial business challenges and opportunities facing the industry today.
Other speakers at this year’s summit include Tong, Adam Beyer, LP Giobbi, Marshall Jefferson, TuneCore CEO Andreea Gleeson and BandLab CEO Meng Ru Kuok, among others.
