The organizers of Amsterdam Dance Event cannot help but applaud themselves for a job well done during their recently concluded 24th edition, with 400,000 visitors from 146 countries all gathering in Amsterdam for the iconic event.
The largest global platform in electronic music achieved a record number of 9150 delegates, with 600 industry professionals being part of the keynotes, workshops, and master classes. They also had a day program that honored 100 years of electronic musical instruments, like the Museum of Modern Instruments in De Brakke Grond. Collaborations were unveiled, such as “For all who Love” by Milkshake Festival and Paradiso. Plus, a new ADE Zen Space was open to the public, promoting a special sold-out sleep concert through meditation and special audiovisual installations.

With that, the team behind ADE has also announced that in 2020, they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary from October 21-25!
In the words of Director Mariana Sanchotene, “We have had an enormously diverse offering over the past five days, with ample attention for artistic and technologic innovation, talent development, and inclusivity. We have looked after a good spread of the events throughout the city and have made outings to Het HEM in Zaandam and Kunstfort in Vijfhuizen.” She continues ”The aim was to grow in quality, not so much quantity. We always strive to deepen and enrich the imagination of the program and I think we have succeeded. We’re looking forward to our anniversary edition in 2020 with fresh courage and inspiration.”
