ADE 2023: what to expect

Tuesday, 23 May 2023
The preparations for ADE 2023 are in full swing – and we’re taking big steps to ensure that this year's edition will be next level in every way, beyond question. On top of all the pros to the ADE Pro Pass you’re already familiar with, we’ve added some new benefits to meet your most requested needs. The first confirmations are in, so let’s dive in: get a glimpse of what to expect from ADE 2023.
New year, new ADE

ADE Pro Conference

Revamped ADE Festival access for Pro Pass holders

We’ve vastly upgraded the ADE Festival access experience for ADE Pro Pass holders, so all our delegates can now enter each of our 1.000+ events in 200+ venues with an individual and dedicated ADE Pro Delegates host. This way, you’ll be on your way to your selected events without hassle.


Meet new and like-minded people

As always, you’ll get full access to the ADE Pro Platform, where you can select and message those you’d like to connect with during that industry peak week in October. This year, ADE provides even more opportunities to meet with them in person, as new and exclusive meeting rooms, get-togethers, and community moments complete the fully stacked program.


Fourth Conference day at Felix Meritis

An additional day full of in-depth programming, ground-breaking topics, and new networking & matchmaking formats: ADE welcomes Pro Pass holders for a fourth day of the largest electronic music conference in the world.

The first confirmation is the first live interview, and Q&A of the masked hero Claptone, who unveils the story behind his highly talked about golden mask. Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the hit single 'No Eyes' with the enigmatic Claptone himself in a fully transformed space and get a rare glimpse into the world of the artist's mysterious persona.

Don't want to miss any of the ADE Pro Conference? Our early bird ticket batch is still up, but we're counting down to the last available tickets.
