About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Mobile Entertainment Expo (MEX) is the Las Vegas gathering for professional DJs, MCs, and mobile entertainers, presented alongside its co-located sister event, Photo Booth Expo (PBX), at South Point Hotel & Casino. Born from the long-running Mobile Beat DJ Show and Conference — now branded the Mobile Beat DJ Con — the event centers on music, performance, and the technology that powers modern mobile and club entertainment.
Attendees range from newcomers spinning their first sets to seasoned professionals who headline weekend gigs. The show combines a busy exhibit hall showcasing DJ controllers, lighting rigs, sound systems, and software with hands-on demos, business and marketing seminars, and performance workshops led by established entertainers.
Beyond the education and gear, MEX is built around community and networking, with sponsored evening events and parties that bring the DJ industry together. A single Key Pass grants all-inclusive access to both the Mobile Beat and Photo Booth Expo programs, making it a strong value for entertainment professionals who serve weddings, corporate events, and clubs.
Show Highlights
- Exhibit hall featuring top brands in DJ controllers, lighting, A/V, sound systems, and software, with hands-on demos.
- Seminars and workshops covering advanced mixing techniques, marketing, business growth, and performance skills, led by successful industry entertainers.
- Networking and evening events — sponsored parties and community gatherings for the DJ industry.
- M.E.X. Hall of Fame, an annual recognition program honoring notable figures in the mobile entertainment community.
- Co-location with Photo Booth Expo, so a single Key Pass unlocks seminars and the exhibit floor for both shows.
