Arctic Electronic Music Meetup (AEM) 2026 is a three-day meeting point for the electronic music scene in northern Sweden, Norway and Finland.
The meetup brings together DJs, producers, organisers, labels, festivals and other music professionals to share knowledge, discover new sounds and build future collaborations across borders.
During the days, AEM offers talks, workshops, presentations, networking and creative exchange. The programme focuses on the electronic music scene in the Arctic region — a scene spread across long distances, local communities and small but growing networks.
The aim is to connect people who are already building this scene, make it more visible and create space for new ideas, new collaborations and new music.
Alongside the professional meetup programme, AEM 2026 also includes a producer camp and two public music events in Luleå.
