For one week each year, thousands of electronic music industry professionals and people trying to get their foot in the door descend on Amsterdam Dance Event. Having just hosted its 20th edition, the week of seminars, parties, meetings and lectures will take its show on the road to one of the most fertile new markets for dance music, India.
As part of its expanding global brand ADE Global Sessions, India is a logical choice for ADE. It will take place in Mumbai, India from April 7-10. Though it is less than the week that occurs each year in Amsterdam, there will be enough time for strategy meetings, master classes by some of the world's elite producers, industry discussions and networking sessions to help connect various people across the industry.
ADE India has already announced a few of the speakers who will present in Mumbai including legendary Chicago DJ, DJ Pierre and on the other side of the industry Rahul Kukreja, director of live events and entertainment for The Livescape Group, which puts on events in Malaysia such as A State of Trance and Rockaway Festival.
There will be a focus on Asia as a future hotspot for dance music globally, which has spawned other conferences like IMS Singapore and a proliferation of festivals all across the continent by Ultra Music Festival and others.
Tickets are on sale now and you can get more information on ADE's website here.
