Salon 188

Salon 188 serves as ADE's Asia Hub for 2026: the meeting point where Asian and European electronic music, art, creativity and industry come together. The Asia Hub is anchored in the European salon tradition, reframed through an East-West lens.


Rather than creating another busy conference or another club night, the Asia Hub offers a relaxed, high-quality environment where people can discover new markets, meet potential partners and exchange ideas.


Each day focuses on a different Asian market or region. The format remains deliberately simple: one keynote, one panel and one networking session. The rest of the day is dedicated to informal meetings, coffee, drinks and conversations.

Salon 188 operates as an informal Asia meeting point:


COFFEE · DRINKS · SMALL BITES · MEETINGS · INTRODUCTIONS · MATCHMAKING


Visitors can drop in, have a coffee, meet someone, join a panel, return later for drinks, or simply use the space as a meeting point during ADE. This creates a natural flow between content and community.


“The only ADE venue built as a standing bridge between Asian and European scenes.”
