Winter Music Conference 2011 Rundown
This year’s Winter Music Conference was announced amid a flurry of controversy over its split with the Ultra Music Festival. In years passed, the conference had benefited (or suffered depending on who you talk to) from the huge draw of Ultra Fest, which as of this year claims to be the largest music festival in the world. Gourmetbeats took the trip down to South Beach to see how the WMC stood on its own.
