The Full ADE Green Program is here
Following up on recent news, we continue with ADE Green: the conference on sustainability and social change in the music industry. The full program for ADE Green 2025 is here, and this is the moment to secure your ticket. This year’s edition counts 20 keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking formats that explore not only what holds us back, but more importantly, what each of us can do regardless of expertise or experience. Across the program, ADE Green asks: How can the industry prepare for a future defined by uncertainty — and continue to grow sustainably, inclusively, and creatively?
