Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has dropped its next wave of names for the ADE Pro Conference 2025, and the lineup underscores why it remains the leading global meeting point for electronic music professionals. Running from October 22 – 26, ADE Pro will once again merge cutting-edge conversations, visionary artists, and industry masterminds to map out the future of electronic music culture.
Tomorrowland Brasil, No Art, Keinemusik & Global Festival Voices
The conference shines a spotlight on festivals shaping dance culture worldwide. Mario Sergio Albuquerque Filho, Festival Director of Tomorrowland Brasil, will share the story of the festival’s rapid growth and global influence in South America.
Hometown heroes ANOTR take the stage alongside their No Art and SONA Worldwide teams to break down how small, intimate parties in Amsterdam evolved into a full-blown international lifestyle brand—now collaborating with giants like Circoloco and Keinemusik.
In another session, Daniel Rérat, CEO of Keinemusik, will explain how the Berlin collective became one of the world’s most distinctive and recognizable brands in electronic music.
Artistic Trailblazers Take the Stage
The new announcement also brings a heavyweight trio of Dutch icons: Armin van Buuren, Joris Voorn, and KI/KI—each representing a different side of the Dutch electronic spectrum, from trance to techno to the underground.
Adding to the star power, Nicole Moudaber will discuss the rise of the MENA region’s club culture, drawing from her personal journey as a pioneering artist and cultural force who helped build Beirut’s scene.
The lineup expands even further with unique artistic voices:
Placebo’s Stefan Olsdal with Spanish producer Digital 21, exploring where band dynamics meet electronic production.
Scuba, bringing insights from his Hotflush Recordings label.
Coco Maria, sharing music monetisation strategies at Bandcamp’s Essential Insider Knowledge session.
Michael Mayer, Kompakt co-founder, reflecting on four decades of DJing, producing, and curating electronic music.
