Dillon Francis: Amplifying Digital Momentum
Dillon Francis’ ability to attract a huge global audience across multiple platforms is undeniable and has stood the test of time.

And most importantly, how is an artist like Francis able to find synergy in his online persona and his musical career to elevate both?

HoneyLuv & DJ Minx: A Conversation Across Generations

Predicting hits: Human vs. Machine
In an age where Artificial Intelligence intersects with every industry more and more, a central question has entered the music realm: can AI's predictive power reshape the music landscape?
Presenting an exploration of this potential shift in our industry, we delve into Neuroforecasting - where neuroscience meets artificial intelligence. Integrating the power of neural responses to music into a machine learning algorithm, new research suggests that hits can be forecasted with a staggering 97% accuracy.
During ADE Pro, two absolute specialists in the realm of neuroscience and market-level analysis are set to guide us into the future: Professor at Claremont Graduate University and veteran tech entrepreneur Dr. Paul J. Zak, alongside Associate Professor of Marketing and Consumer Neuroscience Dr. Alexander Genevsky. They are joined by Kim Hoekema, A&R Manager at Sony Music, to help explore how technologic advancements can enhance the A&R process.
The Future of Festivals
Sziget, Apenkooi, Exit Festival, ARC Music Festival in Chicago, Rise Festival, Milkshake, Neopop Festival and more
One of the most urgent matters in electronic music is festivals and clubs finding themselves in a changing landscape where the future of live events faces uncertainties. The Future Of Festivals is a new ADE Pro Series where experts discuss pressing topics such as the live entertainment industry post-pandemic, the next-gen of quality technicians and how to find them, and how to keep your audience entertained and close.
The organisers of a global roster of festivals and live events join ADE Pro for an extended program on the future of festivals, overcoming today’s challenges facing live events, the industry’s financial dynamics, and what organisers need to do to guarantee the long-term health and viability of the sector.
Check in at The White Lotus with Grammy Award winning composer
Cristobal Tapia de Veer on composing the iconic soundtrack
Jungle sounds, hissing snakes, pan flutes, a roaring bass and chilling screams: the award winning score of HBO's hit series not only plays in the background in this hit series, but the soundtrack of The White Lotus actually plays one of its leading roles. Composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer will appear as a keynote speaker at the BMIM x ADE Pro conference. The soundtrack contributes relentlessly to the message of this dark and wry series, and Tapia de Veer is set to touch on the process and making of the iconic soundtrack live on stage.
