From October 21 to 25, we’ll be celebrating the 25th anniversary edition of ADE!
Of course, because of the pandemic, the organizers have prioritized the safety of their visitors by celebrating with an online-first environment. In the words of co-director Jan-Willem van de Ven, “Clubs and music venues form the backbone of Amsterdam’s nightlife and are incredibly important in shaping and innovating the cultural identity of the city, its inhabitants and visitors alike. Without them, electronic music loses an integral part of its culture and industry and therefore needs all support from the government.”
Co-director Meindert Kennis adds, “Creating a digital alternative of ADE’s annual industry gathering in Amsterdam was quite a puzzle because we needed to represent not just a conference program, but meaningful connections between visitors as well. Whereas other digital conferences offer a one-off knowledge sharing event, we wanted to embrace the challenge of investing in a sustainable social platform that provides real value throughout the year for music industry professionals globally.”
So, for the first few speakers of the ADE Pro digital conference, award-winning artist James Blake, mental health expert Jennie Morton, Deborah Mannis-Gardner, Bandcamp’s Aly Gillani, VFX specialist Angelo White, VEVO’s Claudia de Wolff, BBC Radio 1 DJ Jaguar, and entrepreneur Merck Mercuriadis will give their two cents!
