ADE Pro is focusing extensively on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Given the recent surge in AI technology, a central question of 2023 revolves around mastering machine learning and AI’s imminent dominance in the music industry. Google Creative Lab’s Creative Director, Matthew Carey, and Hema Manickavasagam of Google DeepMind bring the tech giant’s experimental creative tools to ADE Pro for a profound discussion and demonstration on how AI will transform human imagination.

AI expert Dr. Martin Clancy and industry veteran Mariana Carr dive into the use of technology in live events and booking. Spinnin’ Records founder, Eelko van Kooten, and YouTube star Kwebbelkop discuss the next chapter in the creator economy.

The new ADE Startups program aims to showcase the future even further. ADE launches a new startup conference called ADE Startups, which brings together a broad range of music and tech professionals. The program also introduces The Chorus, a close-knit community empowering the next generation of innovators. Out of 500 Music Startups, 8 global innovators have been selected by ADE‘s team of music investors to participate in the community throughout the year. These 8 startups will present their innovative ideas live on stage, providing a true glimpse into the future.

ADE Green, a key part of the ADE program, continues to play a vital role in promoting environmental consciousness, setting the sustainability and social change agenda for events and festivals, and driving new initiatives in the electronic music industry. Artists and organizations including Jayda G, Laidback Luke, Juba, Eli Goldstein, A Greener Future, Julie’s Bicycle, Climate Cleanup Foundation, Mysteryland, and MIT join the program to cover topics such as circular and climate-neutral events, renewable energy, CO2 compensation, social safety in clubs and festivals, mental health, and more.
