The Amsterdam Dance Event has unveiled a new wave of speakers for the 30th anniversary edition of ADE Pro, further strengthening what promises to be one of the most important conference programs in electronic music this year.
Joining the lineup are Mochakk, Solarce Brothers, Josh Baker, SPFDJ, Paul Hartnoll of Orbital, Pedro Winter (Busy P), Gideon Berger and Sarah Williams, who will take part in discussions exploring the future of the electronic music industry.
Taking place from October 21–25, 2026, ADE Pro will focus on three major themes: the future of independent music in an increasingly consolidated market, the relationship between artists and Big Tech, and the importance of collective action in shaping the next chapter of electronic music culture.
Special attention will also be given to emerging scenes in Brazil, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Among the highlights, Josh Baker will discuss how artists are evolving into entrepreneurs by building record labels, festivals and educational platforms alongside their music careers.
Pedro Winter (Busy P) and Emmanuel de Buretel will reflect on more than two decades of collaboration between Ed Banger and Because Music, while Paul Hartnoll joins a panel exploring the ethics of sampling, collaboration and cultural credit, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Orbital’s landmark album In Sides.
With more than 3,300 artists, over 1,200 events across 200+ venues, Amsterdam Dance Event continues to be the world’s leading gathering for electronic music, bringing together artists, industry leaders and innovators to shape the future of global dance culture.
