ADE Program

ADE's conference program is the ultimate business and inspiration platform for the global electronic music industry, featuring dedicated programming for music professionals, aspiring DJs/producers and musicians, tech start-ups, brand- and marketing managers and much more.

The new ADE Lab On Track goes deeper than ever before. Get ready for a professionally guided academy program built around masterclasses, mentoring, performances, studio sessions, and demo drops.

ADE Lab On Track is created for ambitious emerging music professionals ready to take the next step. Learn, create, connect, and get a closer look at the music industry along the way. Leave with new knowledge, new connections, and plenty to put into practice.

The ADE Festival is a 5-day and night celebration of electronic music that takes over the entire city of Amsterdam. With over 300 venues hosting more than 1,200 events, the festival transforms the city into a vibrant hub of beats and creativity. With intimate underground sets to massive club nights, ADE brings together 3,300+ artists, making Amsterdam breathe music from every corner.

ADE Arts & Culture has been the staple of the crossover between electronic music and other art forms. The program focuses on today's makers who find their strength in the night, the positive impact electronic music has on its makers and listeners, and broadening horizons.

Our ADE Friends program includes special, one-off events of all shapes and sizes, mostly with free admission for young and old. Think of events such as in-store sessions, interviews with (famous) artists, networking drinks with people from the music industry, a bite to eat while enjoying vinyl sessions, and much more. The ADE Friends program is for everyone who wants to hop from place to place during the day to get the real ADE feeling.
