Amsterdam Dance Event Announces Final Speakers For 2024 ADE Pro Conference

Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has announced the final speakers for its 2024 ADE Pro conference.

Running alongside the week-long festival, which features performances from over 3,000 artists at over 1,000 events across the city, ADE will host panel discussions and events from 600 total speakers when electronic music’s foremost industry conference returns to the Dutch capital from October 16-20.

Joining the 2024 ADE Pro program in today’s announcement are Belgian techno giants Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte, who will speak about their new collaborative efforts and forthcoming B2B event for the first time; Marlon Hoffstadt—aka DJ Daddy Trance—who will dish on his in-demand Eurodance sound and forthcoming album, Daddycation; and Reinier Zonneveld, who will discuss the creation of his R² festival and playing B2B with himself with the help of AI.

Danish techno artist Kölsch is slated to host a conversation with British genre legend Dave Clarke, charting the UK-born, Amsterdam-based artist’s roots and early years. Clarke will also exhibit his own architectural and landscape photography project, “In The Shutter Light,” at ADE. Elsewhere, Carl Craig, DESIREE, Chelsea Odufu, and Major League DJz will explore new developments in techno and amapiano.

Previously announced ADE Pro speakers include Martin Garrix, Mau P, Indira Paganotto, Ellen Allien, Chris Stussy, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Miss Monique, and more, who are set to discuss topics such as touring and live events, key clubbing territories, and reinventing oneself as an artist.

On the performance front, ADE will host sets from club queen Peggy Gou, dubstep pioneers Benga and Skream, electronica hero Four Tet, house icons like Honey Dijon, The Martinez Brothers, and The Blessed Madonna, and techno stars such as Indira Paganotto, Adam Beyer, Anyma, DJ Heartstring, and thousands more.

Other live music highlights include Afterlife and Tomorrowland’s joint two-night showcase at the Ziggo Dome, a return performance from rising techno talent KI/KI at Amsterdam’s former prison, De Bajes, and much more.
