ADE Green
ADE Green is the pioneering conference on sustainability and social change within the music industry and takes place in Felix Meritis as part of the ADE Pro conference.
ADE Green – Friday, October 24, 2025
This year’s conference returns to Felix Meritis: expect a full day of 15+ panels, keynotes, workshops and networking sessions. From climate-conscious touring and ethical decision-making to artists speaking out and activating audiences in times of crisis: ADE Green will once again explore how we take responsibility, connect, and act.
Full program now online and tickets live
The full ADE Green program is now live. Explore all sessions, panels, and workshops happening this year – a day dedicated to looking ahead, exchanging ideas, and connecting across disciplines to imagine what’s next. Whether you’re returning or joining for the first time: we’d love to see you at ADE Green 2025. Since our first edition, ADE Green tends to sell out – so don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with leading minds in sustainability and social change.
