THe ADJA, the largest registered trade association for DJs once again represented DJs & helped to provide them with excellent content.  Congrats go out to Ryan Burger & the MBLV team for a great event.  They really made their 20th a show to remember.  Nicely done.

The ADJA as the largest representatives of the DJ industry will once again be anchoring the Wedding MBA not only with a booth but with a major presentation sponsoring the entire DJ track.  Get your Passes here!

The ADJA is pleased to announce that we will have a major presence at Mobile Beat Las Vegas on March 14-17, 2016, including our National Meeting. This will take the place of our own separate show so we encourage all of you to attend as we return to Mobile Beat Las Vegas as a fully participating exhibitor and industry partner.

Along with a booth in the exhibit hall, the ADJA will have its national meeting at MBLV20 (March 14-17, 2016), times TBA.

There will be no separate Las Vegas DJ Show in 2016. Instead, the ADJA will be promoting the Mobile Beat Las Vegas 20th Anniversary celebration (‪#‎MBLV20‬) as the key yearly event for ADJA members and other DJs to attend in 2016. Look for more information from the ADJA on its MBLV20 participation in upcoming months. Find out more about the ADJA at adja.org and about #MBLV20 at www.mobilebeat.com

The ADJA supported the International Karaoke Summit 2015 held in Knoxville, TN recently.  This was an excellent opportunity for the ADJA to show support to it’s members that provide karaoke services as well as to represent our leadership to that industry.

ADJA CEO Dr. Drax was asked to host the event held in the studios of DigiTrax Entertainment.  Dr. Drax started the event off with an empassioned address to the Karaoke Industry to be better at respecting artist’s rights & supporting of legitimate karaoke manufacturers such as Digitrax Entertainment & Phoenix Entertainment Partners that are working hard to legally advance the industry.

Joe Vangieri CEO of Digitrax Entertainment commented on how pleased he was to have the CEO of the worlds largest association for DJs & karaoke hosts to attend and host the event.  Drax stated that All the presenters did a great job at conveying their messages.  It was particularly great that Drax was joined by the president of the local ADJA Knoxville Chapter, Hal Kinney.  Dr Drax was quoted as saying that “Hal made tremendous contributions to the success of the event”.

The ADJA & our sister association American Karaoke Host look forward to supporting the 2016 summit as well.

ADJA Rocked the NACE National Experience Foundation  Fundraising event.  ADJA National President Dr. Drax & Phoenix ADJA Chapter President Curtis Whipple rocked them all the back to the future transporting them with sight & sound to 1985…  This was a na80′s themed party.  Madonna was there, Prince was there, they all came out to party with the ADJA.  This event was made possible by the phoenix local chapter officers Budd Moyer, David Hoyt, Robert Walk & the amazing Scott Faver.   Living Energy a high end local Production company brought their guns to bare to help us to make this event.  Consider it CRUSHED!

Once again the ADJA supported education for DJs by supporting the 2015 DJExpo.  It was a great show.  Tons of exhibitors & plenty of networking for everyone.The Expo was put on by Testa Communications.  They did a tremendous job.  This was their 25th anniversary as the first & longest running DJ show in the Americas. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was great to meet so many members & colleagues at The 2015 DJExpo.  We will see you there is 2016
