BPM 2012 6th 7th 8th October 2012 The NEC Birmingham

BPM is the world’s largest event dedicated to DJing and electronic music production. Visitors include DJs, producers, performers, promoters, venue owners/managers, equipment retailers/installers, record label representatives, students and many others who simply have an interest in DJing or electronic music.
The first BPM took place at Donington Park Exhibition Centre back in 2007. Over 2200 visitors came for two days of equipment demonstrations, networking, seminars, workshops, live performances and DJ sets. A second show in 2008 firmly cemented BPM as a major event on the global DJ calendar and prompted the move to a bigger home at the NEC in the thriving city of Birmingham. With direct links via road, rail and air BPM is now easily accessible to visitors traveling from across the UK, throughout Europe and from even further afield. Since the move, BPM has gone from strength to strength and BPM 2011 was the biggest yet, welcoming over 7000 visitors from 16 different countries.

From Saturday the 6th of October until Monday the 8th of October 2012 BPM will once again brighten up Birmingham with the sound of electronic music. The show promises to be the biggest and best so far and is not to be missed!
