ADE Green 2024: An early glimpse into the Program
Following up on recent news about the top minds of ADE Pro and the return of ADE Arts & Culture, we continue with ADE Green: the conference on sustainability, innovation and social change in the music industry. With ADE Green tickets now available, here are a few highlights of this year’s ADE Green program – discover the first programs about water management, climate justice, CSRD legislation, creative conservation, transformative events, overcoming barriers to diversity, and sustainability standards.
First look at this year's ADE Green program
Water is Life: Embracing a Circular Approach
The Green Deal Circular Festivals, representing a community of 53 European frontrunner festivals from 17 countries, will lead an interactive panel on water. Besides highlighting best practices and strategies to protect water quality, prevent pollution and reduce unnecessary consumption, it dives deep into the upcoming EU water quality regulations – extremely relevant to any outdoor event.
Climate Justice: Next Steps and Considerations
How do we shift sustainability efforts towards climate justice? This panel discussion will tackle this pressing question, fostering active hope rather than despair. Join us to explore the necessary steps to ensure that environmental efforts also promote social equity and justice.
CSRD: Sustainability Legislation in the Music Industry
New European sustainability legislation, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), is set to impact our industry significantly. Featuring insights from event suppliers and organisers, and a representative from the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group, this panel will explore the transformative potential, implications and opportunities presented by CSRD for the music industry.
Nature as an Artist: Celebrating Creative Conservation
In this program, you will learn more about the unique initiative that recognizes nature as an artist to support conservation efforts. Discover how this initiative is inspiring collaborations with renowned musicians and find out how you can support and participate in this movement.
The Transformative Power of Rituals and Ceremonies
Join acclaimed show creators as they explore the roots of festivals and the significance of rituals. Learn how modern ceremonies can create profound and meaningful experiences, and why ritual thinking is still essential – for any modern event.
Barriers to Diversity and Inclusion: The Programmer's Perspective
This panel addresses structural barriers limiting diversity, like visa restrictions, funding access, and promotion opportunities. Programmers and industry experts who create spaces for artists from beyond western borders will explore solutions to overcome these obstacles and foster a more inclusive industry.
Official Launch: Dutch Sustainability Ladder Events (DLE)
ADE Green 2024 will officially present the Dutch Sustainability Ladder Events (DLE), a harmonized standard for sustainable and inclusive events. This short session will present insights and practical goals across its five maturity levels, outlining the steps for future development and implementation across the industry.
