A global tourism summit planned for Cambodia next month is getting some fitting musical entertainment.
The 2026 GX Summit, which takes place in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap from 23SEP-28SEP, will feature a performance by internationally-known mashup artist DJ Earworm at its closing party.
Bruce Poon Tip, founder of the event's organizer, Canadian-based adventure travel company G Adventures, described the summit's goals as similar to the American DJ's work -- drawing from disparate sources to create a new, original experience.
"Building a great mashup is all about taking different elements and threading them into something that’s so much greater than the sum of its parts," he said.
"That’s the exact heartbeat of GX: bringing different people, places, and communities together from around the globe to build a shared experience that moves as one."
DJ Earworm, who is known for his annual 'United States of Pop' musical retrospectives, has created a custom two-hour mashup in recognition of G Adventures' 36-year history. He'll perform it for the 650 attendees to wrap up the week of events, which includes a private river cruise and historical and cultural experiences, as well as keynote speakers at the World Community Tourism Summit.
"GX was built to celebrate the transformative impact travel can have when it’s done right, and we are so excited to bring the GX energy to Cambodia, a country defined by its incredible resilience, history, and warmth," Poon Tip said.
"After a week of seeing the power of travel to change lives firsthand, attendees will party into the night at the iconic closing party, and we’re pumped to welcome DJ Earworm to bring the beat."
