Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is an electronic-music conference and festival held across venues throughout Amsterdam each October. It began in 1996 as a three-day industry conference and has grown into a five-day event combining a large business conference — talks, panels and networking for the electronic-music industry — with club nights, showcases and live performances staged across the city.
