If you thought festivals were over with the end of summer, think again. We still have the chance to live an incredible experience that, far from being one more event on the calendar, is currently the world’s largest and most influential club-based festival and conference for electronic music. We are talking about the Amsterdam Dance Event, the five-day event that attracts visitors from nearly one hundred and fifty countries who do not want to miss its dedicated conference programming, the extensive arts and culture programme, and live music and DJ/artist performances. This edition will be held from October 18 to 22, and you can still get your tickets here.
There are so many activities scheduled in the complete programme of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) that it’s nearly impossible to shortlist the essential events or talks you shouldn’t miss. With the aim of nurturing electronic music, its culture and its industry worldwide, the not-for-profit organisation has just completed its conference programme with Adam Beyer, Jayda G, A-Trak, Don Diablo, Juba, Röyksopp, Dimitri Vegas and many more. As we said, this event is much more than a festival; it is a meeting of creative minds and music lovers where they can share reflections, opinions and experiences in a unique and safe ecosystem.
Having announced its second wave of artists a few days ago, and with only fifteen days left until its new edition kicks off, Amsterdam Dance Event is now getting ready to welcome essential names in electronic music such as Charlotte de Witte, Peggy Gou, Hardwell, A-Track, and many more. You can find all the information here.
From Don Diablo going in-depth on what makes your human creativity unique in an AI-generated world, to Dimitri Vegas shedding light on how to become a global success on TikTok, ADE is offering many talks and panels with which we can learn and be inspired, along with some of the most brilliant minds on the current scene. These very exciting names will also meet in ADE Pro, the ultimate annual business gathering for the global electronic music industry. More than eighty new speakers join the existing roster including The Blessed Madonna, Claptone, HoneyLuv, DJ Minx, Max Cooper, Kittin, Tiffany Calver, special guest Grandmaster Flash, and many more.
Do you want to know more about startups? Amsterdam Dance Event will also address this topic in their new startup conference, ADE Startups, to bring together a broad range of music and tech professionals. At this meeting, eight global innovators selected by ADE’s team of music investors will take the stage to present their projects and share their innovative visions.
We must also mention ADE Arts & Culture, which is celebrating its third edition, focusing on a new generation of creators, electronic music’s positive impact, and broadening horizons. If you want to know more about this cutting-edge and inspiring initiative, you can find all the information on its website. You can get your ADE Pro Pass, which gives you full access to all conference tracks, networking events and hubs, all festival events and much more, and the different tickets ADE is offering here. See you in Amsterdam!
