As per title really!!

Over the 23rd, 24th and 25th of October 2008, Amsterdam sees the return of the highly revered Amsterdam Dance Event, Europe’s leading electronic and dance music conference organised by Buma Cultuur. With a proven track record over the past 12 years, ADE attracts music industry professionals from around the globe and has established itself as the place to do business. In 2008 ADE expects 2,000+ professionals from over 36 countries, 600+ artists/acts to perform and a festival audience of 80.000.

“People in the industry see it more and more as essential to be here and the event has found its own dynamic and is growing every year.” Enthuses ADE’s Richard Zijlma.

ADE offers music industry professionals the opportunity to meet international business partners, introduce their business to an international audience and get in touch with new people, new music and new trends. With four networking and business lounges and a broad program of panels, keynotes speakers and meetings, ADE provides a platform and gateway for anyone who's working in the electronic music business, from seasoned professionals to those just starting out.

‘It’s really good for young artists, dj’s and producers because they get to meet their peers, lots of new people and learn a bit which I think is really important.’ Says Arthur Baker

Held in the centre of Amsterdam at the historic canal-side Felix Meritis building and the luxurious neighbouring Dylan Hotel, the ADE conference gives you the opportunity to be heard, be seen and experience the best of what the dance and electronic music scene has to offer.

Myself and Owain will be out there for the duration of the event - we're already receiving loads of calls booking meetings to discuss how to align your needs as an industry professional with DSI's many different solutions. If you're out there and fancy a catch up with us to discuss the exciting plans underway to make DSI even more productive for you - whatever your position in the industry - then please email one of us!!

It's gonna be absolutely awesome - we've got loads of people we want to meet up with out there, tons of interesting new stuff going on in the industry to check out, and 2000 of the dance music industry's top players all in one place!!
