ADE Matchmaking Hub
Conference
ADE Matchmaking Hub
Our newest Pro location, the Pulitzer, is designed to create the ultimate networking opportunities for all ADE delegates. ADE Pro has always focused on creating connections, driving collaborations, and fostering industry innovation. This year, our focus on networking and matchmaking has been completely renewed to offer unique networking opportunities. You’ll find opportunities to engage in interactive one-on-one matchmaking events. Running from October 16th to 18th, each day will feature two ‘Meet the Professionals’ sessions where delegates can connect with industry experts from various sectors and regions of the electronic music industry. Engage with top media, labels, agents, managers, promoters, and more.
