weDJ is a free expo featuring panels, workshops, networking, open decks, battles, and more. It will take place at London’s 26 Leake Street on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November 2025 - and it’s completely free.
After a successful launch in 2024, weDJ’s free expo returns, but this time to a bigger venue and with lots more to get stuck into.
The huge playground for those passionate about DJing, music production, and expanding their knowledge of the industry brings great minds together to share more than before, with an additional education zone this year.
Skiddle hosts the Mental Health & The Music Industry panel on the Saturday with Duncan King (Head of Festivals & Partnerships at Skiddle). He’ll be joined by grime producer Mak 10, house DJ Jess Bays, Grace Meadows (Head of Music Minds Matter) and Jeordie Shenton (Programmes Lead at Tonic Music), discussing the mental health challenges faced by artists and how they can deal with them.
Mak 10 and Bays are both sober, while Meadows and Shenton work on the front line with artists in the music industry.
Other panels across the weekend are How Do DJs Get Booked, The Future Of DJ Tech, Exploring Grassroots Radio, Motherhood & DJing, and How To Start Your Own Event, also featuring Duncan King.
Across the panels, people will be able to hear from those in and around the music industry, such as Lisa Loud and people from Sexy Lady Massive, On The Rise, DJcity, Caviar Radio, G-Shock Radio, Mixcloud, Love Will Save The Day FM, Altverse, Boxpark, RnB Slow Jams, and more.
As well as talks, the expo also offers workshops on Ableton music production, social media, and more, including workshops specifically for women and neurodiverse people.
People can also enjoy the return of Scratch Jam on Saturday, Controller Cuts on Sunday, secret soundclashes, and open decks on both days.
weDJ will also welcome plenty of exhibitors, including DJ TechTools, HK Audio, JBL, Native Instruments, Pioneer DJ, rekordbox, Reloop, RØDE, Technics, and more. Get hands-on with the latest music tech, talk directly to the manufacturers themselves, and test DJ gear, electronic music production kit, and PA systems.
Head down to 26 Leake Street, SE1 7NN to play, network, and learn on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th 2025.
