About ADE Green
This year, ADE, Green Events and Nachtlab Agency join forces to organize the 10th edition of ADE Green with the support of various partners and ambassadors.
The full-day schedule will cover advanced topics such as (tap) water at events, impact innovation, sustainability standards, contracts, reporting and policy compliance. Esteemed speakers such as Andrew Lansley (Glastonbury), Iona Thomas (Doors Open/Resident Advisor), Sama Abdulhadi, Shimza, and Lady Shaka will lead open conversations on climate justice, accessibility, structural barriers, and making the industry more open and inclusive.
Notable program items include a water management showcase by Circular Festivals and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, the launch of Dutch Sustainability Ladder Events (DLE), a panel discussion on the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, an EU regulation that will affect the industry in the near future, and a conversation on how nature can now be credited as an artist on most streaming platforms. Furthermore, the anniversary edition emphasizes connection and networking opportunities through the addition of speed-dates with more than 10+ influential and knowledgeable industry figures, as well as five exclusive roundtables for a select group of industry professionals at the start of the conference – registrations for these sessions are now open.
