The International Nightlife Association has announced that the 10th International Nightlife Congress and 5th Spanish Nightlife Congress will be held jointly in Valencia, Spain, on November 18th and 19th, 2025. The two-day program will bring together global nightlife leaders, culminating with the 10th edition of the Golden Moon Awards Gala and the official unveiling of this year’s World’s 100 Best Clubs™ list.
The event will take place at the SH Valencia Palace Hotel and is set to host 13 panels covering key topics such as safety, cultural value, sustainability, and the future of the global nightlife sector. Confirmed speakers include the Night Mayors of Amsterdam and New York, the Barcelona Night Commissioner, and heads of nightlife associations from Argentina, Italy, Mexico, and Singapore.
The International Congress will open on November 19th with the release of the International Guide for Fire Prevention in Venues, created in collaboration with Preventia, APTB, and Appleton Private University. It marks the first global fire safety guide to integrate both nightlife and technical perspectives. Key panels will follow on nightlife and culture, DJ–DJ-promoter relations, education, and safety frameworks.
In parallel, the Spanish Nightlife Congress will begin one day earlier, on November 18th. Among the sessions are panels on tourism, branding, women’s leadership, music recognition tech, health and well-being, and nightlife coexistence policies. Participants include leading Spanish promoters, DJs, public officials, and industry executives.
The program will close on the night of November 19 with the Golden Moon Awards Gala, co-hosted by Judge Jules and Anna Tur. Awards will be presented in 13 categories, including Best Festival, Best Club, and Best Inclusive Initiative, alongside the reveal of The World’s 100 Best Clubs™ 2025.
