weDJ is not a trade show!
It’s an event that connects DJs and music producers of all abilities with the very best technology, brands, knowledge and others in the same position to push our scene forward.
That’s not to say you can’t buy the latest technology and accessories at the show, Westend DJ are retailing at weDJ and the PhotoBooth Expo London show (which is on downstairs on the same dates), so you absolutely can – but that’s not why weDJ was created.
The whole weDJ expo is free to enter, and On The Rise have built a series of panels and workshops that are aimed at providing new skills and knowledge to help DJs and music producers. From the Be Heard radio panel through to the Tech Talk with Mojaxx – there’s much to be gained from listening to experts in their field share the experiences and knowledge of what’s coming next – there will also be Q&A sessions, so you can delve into the minds of our guest speakers.
Our exhibitors have been selected to give attendees the opportunity to get hands on with the latest kit. Whether you’re looking for the next DJ controller, you need a sound-system to launch your parties or you want lights to enhance your livestreams – the manufacturers will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. If you’re a music producer, you can get hands on with the very latest software and hardware and learn how Tayylor Made creates remixes from scratch.
If that wasn’t enough, there are multiple chances to win – whether you enter our Sunday Scratch Jam (which is sponsored by Technics), the Hercules powered Controller Cuts contest or some of our prize draws – there’s over £13,000 of kit to be won.
As with everything I do at On The Rise, I wanted to both create something for our DJ community where they can learn, network and play, but also invite new DJ’s and producers in… to be part of this exciting and welcoming community. With my partners at Westend DJ we are focused on providing people with access and resources to help step up their game or just get the most out of their hobby. We agreed that the best way to do this was to make this 2 day event free to everyone and accessible to every level of DJ, as we have been doing for the last few years with our workshops, networking events and open decks. But now, we have turbo charged it!
Terry Ryan, Director - On The Rise
Westend DJ has teamed up with our partners, On The Rise, to fill a gap that I believe has been widening over recent years, as the trade shows for our industry have lost the connection to the DJs and music producers which they should serve. weDJ continues our community focussed approach to improving access to DJing with a free expo aimed at connecting DJs and music producers with tech, knowledge and like-minded peers to further their enjoyment of music.
