Five-time top DJ in the world and producer Armin Van Buuren top-billed the event, in which he shared his expertise and international view on the evolution of dance music, particularly in progressive trance and uplifting trance—genres he is most familiar with. Armin welcomed questions from the press, guests and fans about his passion for music and his world tour, as well as his pre-show rituals and future plans. He was also asked about balancing being a prolific artist and being a devoted family man.

Hosted by prominent event industry insider Tim Yap and supermodel Joey Mead King, the forum tackled a variety of topics from the artists’ point of view down to the business and career side of the industry.

Homegrown talent DJ Nicky Jurado opened the forum, sharing his experiences being at the forefront of the booming clubbing scene back in the days of hit clubs like Orange Juice. Driven Manila’s Domini Primero and Bigfish International’s Ricky Daker, on the other hand, touched on international trends that permeated the local dance-event market. As two of the country's leading event and concert promoters who have worked with countless foreign acts, their wisdom proved integral to the discussion.

Next on the list were top local DJ Mars Miranda and business maverick Stephen Ku, who tackled the business side of putting up clubs and establishments and making a career out of being a DJ. Pulling from their experiences, they gave valuable insight that aspiring musicians and producers, as well as entrepreneurs, can draw inspiration from.

Subsequently, Katrina Razon and Mikail Schemm began their segment by treating the crowd with a special set showcasing their signature brand of sound. They shared their view on the shifting patterns and trends of underground music in Southeast Asia, taking off from their immersions and observations, having travelled to different parts of the world. Completing the lineup of speakers were Ingo Voglemann and Pav Parrotte, who showed the similarities and contrasts between the international and local underground dance music scenes.
