Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has confirmed the next wave of speakers for its 2025 ADE Pro Conference, spotlighting a diverse mix of festival directors, artists, collectives, and curators who are redefining electronic music across continents. These new additions join an already dynamic lineup featuring Chris Liebing, Luke Slater, Eris Drew, Modeselektor, Vintage Culture, Skepta, and industry leaders from Google DeepMind, SoundCloud, and COLORSxSTUDIOS.
Global festivals will take center stage as Mario Sergio Albuquerque Filho, Festival Director of Tomorrowland Brasil, shares insights on the overseas expansion of one of the world’s most iconic electronic events and its explosive success in Brazil. Amsterdam’s DJ duo ANOTR will reflect on how their No Art imprint transformed from small local gatherings into an international lifestyle brand, working with global collectives such as Circoloco and Keinemusik. Keinemusik’s CEO Daniel Rérat will further expand on how the Berlin crew has evolved into one of electronic music’s most distinctive brands.
The program also welcomes trailblazing artists who continue to push boundaries in sound and culture. Lebanese-British DJ, producer, and label founder Nicole Moudaber will explore the rise of the MENA region through the lens of her own contributions to Beirut’s club scene. Placebo’s Stefan Olsdal, appearing with Spanish producer Digital 21, will examine the creative synergy between band culture and electronic production. Scuba will bring his perspective as an artist and label head through the forward-thinking ethos of Hotflush Recordings. Amsterdam-based DJ and curator Coco Maria will join Bandcamp’s Essential Insider Knowledge session on music monetisation, while Kompakt co-founder Michael Mayer reflects on more than four decades of shaping electronic music through DJing, production, and curation.
In addition to panels and keynotes, ADE Pro continues its popular Meet the Pros sessions, offering delegates the chance to connect directly with global managers, agents, promoters, and event organisers. Industry heavyweights from WME, MAC Artists, DECIBL, Coral Agency, Lab 54, Club Guest House, IME Link, Intercell, Wonder Manage, and Entourage are already confirmed, creating one of the strongest networking rosters in ADE history.
