The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is one of the most important electronic music conference and showcase festivals in the world.  The annual electronic music event plans to attract an audience of 80,000 music lovers and 2,000 music professionals from around the globe.

The ADE will celebrate its 14th year October 21-24, 2009.  For 4 days and nights and over 40 outstanding locations throughout the beautiful city of Amsterdam,  the best line-ups with more than 700 DJs and artists will be performing from around the globe.  As the worlds biggest club festival, ADE shows you the best of what electronic music has to offer.

The ADE is the ultimate platform to meet international business partners, introduce your business to an international audience and get in touch with new people, new music and new trends. Taking place in the historic canal-side Felix Meritis building and the luxurious neighboring Dylan Hotel, ADE offers you an extensive network of music professionals, knowledge from top speakers from around the globe and all the tools you need to get the most out of your business.

“I’m very impressed with the set up, the location and the professionalism of the whole event. Business was genuinely done in the day and the panels seemed to provoke some meaningful debates. The night life was pretty awesome. Across three nights there were some amazing parties – all very busy and very exciting.’” Pete Tong, BBC Radio 1, UK

“This year’s ADE reminds me of what happens when you take early WMC and mix it with MIDEM. You have lots of parties and then in the day you have panels and exhibits about the real issues surrounding club music currently. All the while, you’re exchanging conversation with all the movers and shakers of the industry. Its truly one of dance music’s most important weeks on the calendar!” Dave Dresden, US
