The organizers of the Amsterdam Dance Event, the world’s leading electronic music summit, have revealed the first batch of speakers for its 2024 ADE Lab program.
The entry-level program features a spate of experiences, like masterclasses, Q&A sessions and demo drops, designed for attendees to better grasp the many creative disciplines of a career in electronic music. It differs from ADE’s Pro conference, which caters to more experienced music industry professionals.
This year, ADE is splintering the Lab program into four courses: Producer, Visual Arts, Performing Artist and Industry. Those who complete a course will receive discount if they decide to return to the conference in 2025, according to ADE.
One of the highlights revealed today is an “intimate conversation” with Joseph Capriati and EDM.com Class of 2023 inductee Indira Paganotto, who are set to discuss their creative process and collaborative Mantra EP. The panel will be hosted by influential techno artist Dave Clarke.
Another highlight comes from German artist DJ MELL G, who will lead a discussion about mental health in nightlife titled “Staying Grounded as a Touring DJ.” Other confirmed speakers include Mama Snake, Narciss, DJ Babatr, DJ MELL G, MARRØN, Freddy K and Awakenings founder Rocco Veenboer. More will be revealed in the weeks ahead.
The 2024 ADE Lab program is scheduled for October 16-19. You can purchase passes here.
