DJs Find Focus at UK's ADJ-Sponsored Pro Mobile Conference

Combining a focussed educational program of renowned speakers with ample opportunity for networking, self-reflection and checking out the latest DJ-relevant products, the 2016 Pro Mobile Conference saw ADJ shine bright with mobile DJs.

ADJ is a brand which understands that how a DJ thinks is equally as important as how a DJ looks. So, while ADJ's awesome range of compact, cost-effective lighting products and accessories are revered by mobile DJs across the world, an incredible lightshow isn't the only thing that matters!

For many DJs, education and self-development are huge aspects of the industry and two key ways to grow their businesses and improve their performance, whether as DJs, hosts or even event organizers. Over the pond in the UK, one event that provides this experience is the Pro Mobile Conference, an off-shoot of the popular Pro Mobile magazine for mobile DJs.

This year's event took place last month, running from February 28-29 at the luxurious Heythrop Park Crowne Plaza Hotel in Oxfordshire, UK. Set against a back-drop of picturesque English countryside, this elegant venue and its accompanying grounds are the perfect place for delegates to not only find inspiration for their businesses but have the time and peace of mind to think about its future.

The two-day Conference offers mobile DJs a series of keynotes and workshops by a line-up of renowned speakers from across the globe, as well as various opportunities to network, socialize and check out the latest DJ products from world-leading brands. Aside from helping DJs improve the performance and entertainment side of their work, business and marketing are given a standing of equal importance when it comes to content and speakers, equipping delegates with loads of practical ideas that can be taken away and implemented instantly. The Pro Mobile Conference also has a unique social aspect, encouraging delegates to share advice, swap ideas and offer support as they learn, network, dine and party together.

A long-time sponsor, and one of the brands at the heart of the event, ADJ returned for the 2016 Conference, giving delegates an opportunity to experience an eclectic mix of innovative new products inside the Break Out Rooms. Designed to give delegates a chance to see the best new products during the intermissions between keynote sessions, the Break Out Rooms featured various brands – including ADJ, which showcased an assortment of awesome lighting effects.

The keynote seminars, meanwhile, were hosted inside the hotel's Conference Theater, which was lit by a range of ADJ effects, ensuring that the auditorium looked incredible as speakers such as famed mentalist Gilan Gork and TV personality Katie Bulmer-Cooke delivered exceptional sessions. Delegates were also treated to an exclusive seminar with American favorites Randy Bartlett and Peter Merry, who delivered their first ever joint UK seminar, offering up loads of useful take-homes and plenty of laughs.

While the Conference Theater certainly showcased the adaptability and potency of ADJ's latest offerings, DJs could really get up close to the products in the Break Out Rooms, where ADJ staff were also on-hand to answer any questions and discuss the products in more detail. For DJs looking to do something more visual with their setup, the AV6 video panels were a big pull, being well received by DJs looking to incorporate video elements into their work. Meanwhile, the Asteroid 1200 - which offers a uniquely modern twist on an old classic - made its first UK appearance, impressing delegates with its spherical multi-beam effects; and DJs also got their first glimpse of the game-changing Airstream DMX Bridge and the compact but impactful effects of the new Inno Spot Z4!

Education, self-improvement and networking are all vital parts of being or becoming a successful DJ or host, but so too is forming a professional, reliable lightshow that promises to deliver pure lighting excitement at the events you work. That’s why the Pro Mobile Conference – which combines an impressive educational programme with the chance to check out the latest DJ gear – is so vital to all of the DJs and brands involved.

Letting our customers experience ADJ products first-hand is something that we’re committed to, no matter where in the world they’re based! Innovative new offerings like the revolutionary AV6 video screen and our forward-thinking Airstream DMX Bridge need to be seen to be believed – and the Pro Mobile Conference gave mobile DJs an unbeatable opportunity to do exactly that!
