EMC has today announced Amsterdam, Mirik Milan as its first keynote speaker for 2016, alongside the news that Purple Sneakers will be one of the media partners for their fifth year!

EMC 2016 is returning to Sydney’s The ivy Complex from November 28 – December 2 for a week of keynotes, interactive sessions, Q&As, panels, workshops, master classes, showcases, parties and more, celebrating electronic music culture in the Asia Pacific region.

They're celebrating this with the announcement of Mirik Milan. Milan has been the Night Mayor of Amsterdam since 2012. The Night Mayor Foundation "is an independent, not for profit foundation dedicated to ensuring a dynamic nightlife in Amsterdam, and helping to build bridges between the business owners specific to nightlife in the city, and the city council, the mayor, residents and the public to create a pleasant, safe environment without damaging the night-life’s attractive and vibrant economy."

His appearance is incredibly timely, considering Sydney’s much documented lockout laws, Milan's opening keynote at EMC 2016 aims to highlight the successes of Amsterdam’s nightlife policies and how other countries can implement similar solutions to cultivate a sophisticated and flourishing nightlife.
