With a daytime program based around the Felix Meritis centre and the Dylan Hotel on the Keizersgracht in the heart of Amsterdam’s city centre, the ADE has gained a reputation amongst music industry professionals for being an event where things get done. Thanks to the abundant presence of artists, DJs, managers, the media, labels, publishers and producers from 58 countries, the volume of deals done and valuable connections made is one of the most remarkable aspects of the ADE’s daytime activities.
Over the last 15 years, the ADE has grown from a three-day event largely focussed on Dance Music into a platform for every imaginable kind of electronic music spread over four days. Kicking off with Wednesday’s Music & Bits conferences covering technological innovations in both hardware and software, ADE also now includes the Golden Gnome (Gouden Kabouter) Awards, and ADE Next on Saturday where aspiring musicians and producers are able to meet the professionals and get expert opinions on their work from some of the world’s most popular and in-demand artists, DJs and producers. The nighttime line-up features the very biggest DJ and artist names on the planet alongside a selection of the best upcoming talent performing in the 52 clubs and venues that make Amsterdam one of the best clubbing cities in the world.

| Second edition Hard Dance Event announced For the second year the Hard Dance Event (HDE) will be the spot for professionals to meet, discuss and design the future of the hard dance scene. As an official part of the Amsterdam Dance Event the HDE will take place on the 20th of October at the ID&T headquarters in Amsterdam. The first edition in 2010 was a great success ‘selling out’ all the available spots two weeks prior to the event. 700 Artists, promoters, designers and other professionals from 17 different countries attended the seminars and participated in demonstrations and meetings. The reactions were overwhelming and it was clear the scene had been waiting for a networking event of it’s own. The 2011 edition will again be all about networking and establishing new relations in the current market while the seminars will be focused on future international opportunities, the crossover into other styles of music and the image of harder dance in general. The supporting partners that will bring you HDE 2011 are Q-dance, b2s, Hardstyle.com, Bass Events, Buma Cultuur, Corrino and Platinum Agency. For the first time participants will be able to register through the ADE website and benefit from the advanced system in order to make appointments and view profiles of other visitors beforehand. Registration is obligatory with a €15 damage and all participants will receive the HDE goody bag.
