Better pricing. Better systems. More confidence behind every enquiry. And a room full of DJs who are serious about building something bigger.
Why a weekend? Because this venue is too good to pass up. JBL runs the space as their HQ during the week, so weekends are the only time we can take it over. An immersive, high-tech environment built around sound, creativity and incredible opportunities to capture content.
Two quick clips so you can feel the room.
This is what it feels like when you’re in the room.
Straight from DJs who came last year.

Every level up starts with showing up.
Move from learning to levelling up.
Full access. Front row. Every advantage.
We focus on the things that actually move the needle for working DJs. Positioning yourself properly, having confident conversations with clients, and building systems that make your business feel solid. You’ll leave with ideas you can apply straight away.
One of the biggest takeaways from last year was the room itself. You’ll be surrounded by DJs who take their business seriously, share ideas openly, and are happy to talk honestly about what’s working. Those conversations often become the most valuable part of the weekend.
This isn’t two days of passive listening. You’ll be involved throughout the event, applying ideas and shaping your own approach as you go. After year one, the feedback was clear. You wanted more practical. So that’s exactly what we’ve built.

Saturday: Music Management @djcee_b
Event host, both days
Daz hosts the weekend from the front. He introduces every speaker, keeps the room moving between sessions and makes sure two full days actually run to time instead of drifting, which is harder than it sounds and worth more than people think.
Hosting Saturday and Sunday @dazthemc
The rest of the line-up is in the diary and being confirmed now. Every speaker goes up here the moment they sign, so it is worth checking back before you decide.

Real improvement for your business and DJ career.
When the sessions finish, the real conversations carry on. Two nights to meet the right people, swap real-world solutions, and build connections that keep paying you back long after the weekend.
A short intro, then it’s over to you. This session is driven by audience questions, with loads of time for proper answers, follow-ups, and the stuff you actually want to know.
No laptop, no notepad, no trying to keep up. You’ll get clean notes after the weekend with the key takeaways, action points, and reminders ready to use.
Hosted inside JBL’s Experience Centre. Proper sound, proper energy, and a space that makes conversations easy. It feels like an experience, not a standard conference room.
Lunch, coffee, and free on-site parking are included. No hunting for food, no watching the clock, no messing about. Turn up, settle in, and stay focused on the weekend.
We’re keeping it tight, because real growth happens in smaller rooms. This is about genuine connection, not a cattle-market of random DJs. You’ll leave with real contacts, real takeaways, and a clear plan of action.
Sessions announced so far
Every session is built for the room, not for a PDF. Topics and times are still moving, so we are publishing the subject areas first and the detail once it is locked.
Your event host across both days is Daz MC.
MCing, and what doing it well does to the rest of the job. It changes how a room sees you, how your business looks from the outside, and how much you can charge for it. Why the microphone, not the sound system, is the thing a room actually remembers you for.
The theory half. How to build an audience that turns into actual enquiries, from someone running one over 300,000 strong rather than reading about it.
The practical half, straight after. You make content in the room and leave with it on your phone, not with a list of ideas you never get round to.
A 70 minute practical DJ session on the floor, working on the bits between the tracks.
Splitting what comes in into pots, so tax, kit and paying yourself each have somewhere to live. Running the money side of a small business, and pointing it at what you actually want from life rather than just surviving January.
Smaller rooms you pick between, plus a run of 20 minute talks late in the afternoon.
Sessions announced so far
Sunday leans practical. Kit on stands, a live panel recorded in the room, and the sessions that deal with why bookings go the other way.
Your event host across both days is Daz MC.
A panel of people who see DJs from the other side of the wedding, talking about what really gets said about you once you have packed down. The line-up is being confirmed.
Every DJ hits a point where the diary is full and the money stops moving. Euan on how to get past it: pricing, what else you can sell into a booking you already have, and when putting on a second rig is the answer rather than the problem.
The law change, a portable rig demo, hiding a lapel mic, and where to put the speakers so vows are actually heard.
The real reasons couples book someone else, and what to change before the next enquiry lands.
Mike is one of the three behind Level Up Live. He has a slot on Sunday and is working out what will be most use to the room. The topic goes up here as soon as it is set.
Smaller rooms you pick between, running alongside the main stage.
Confirmed, day still to be set
Either dayBooked in and coming. Which of the two days this one lands on is still being worked out with the rest of the running order, so it goes up here rather than under a day.
Getting your library under control. Crate building, automating the organisation, and a set you can actually perform from instead of hunting for the next track while the floor waits.
