ADE Pro expands its most in-demand networking format: 'Meet the...' Sessions

Thursday, 18 June 2026
ADE Pro expands the 'Meet the…' Sessions this year, growing the long-running networking format to ten dedicated sessions across the global music industry. Previously known as 'Meet the Pros', the sessions have become one of the most in-demand parts of the ADE Pro program. The 2026 edition brings together labels and A&Rs, agents, managers, publishers, DSPs and distributors, event organizers and promoters, media, AI companies, and professionals from ADE's focus regions: Brazil, Africa, and the Middle East.

Year after year, Pro Pass Holders filled the rooms of the Conference Halls to meet the people behind artist signings, festival bookings, publishing deals, media coverage, distribution strategies, and emerging technologies. As ADE celebrates 30 years, the expanded format takes place at ADE Pros Business Hub at Rosewood Amsterdam and creates more opportunities for the conversations that have long defined the conference: direct exchanges between the people building electronic music on and off the stage.


This year, ADE Pro hosts:


• Meet the Labels and A&Rs
• Meet the Agents
• Meet the Managers
• Meet the AI Players
• Meet the Publishers
• Meet the Event Organisers and Promoters
• Meet the DSPs & Distributors
• Meet the Media
• Meet the Professionals from the Focus Regions
• Meet the Sync Pros (BMIM)
