The best activities around ADE

From Wednesday October 19 to Sunday October 23, electronic music lovers can indulge themselves at one of the largest dance gatherings in the world: Amsterdam Dance Event.

The exhibition will be opened on the first day of ADE can be seen in the Beurs van Berlage until November 13.

2. House Of Hope

Protestant Church Netherlands, Homebass, Dominicus Amsterdam and ADE join forces to present to the public House of Hope to present. An immersive club concept in a church. People who have personally experienced homelessness share their stories during the performance, accompanied by DJ and producer Mees Dierdorp. The artistic meeting takes place in the Dominicus Church in the heart of Amsterdam, because according to the organization, clubs and churches have more in common than you might initially think. Both places feel like home to many people; places where they find meaning, connection and warmth.

House Of Hope takes place on Friday, October 21 from 16.30:21.30 PM to XNUMX:XNUMX PM. 

3. The world's first electronic Dance Music Museum 

The program Our House Museum goes one step further during ADE. For example, enjoy a 4D experience about the evolution of dance music. The trip down memory lane takes you through 40 years of iconic tracks, clubs, festivals and artists. During ADE, the Our House Museum is open twenty hours a day, and in-store DJ sessions, panels, signing sessions and club nights are organized. 

4. Running 

Perhaps not the first thing you think of at ADE, but from October 13 there will be a special running route set to music that will lead you past the favorite places of DJs Passion DEEZ and Mia Cecille. For example, join Cecille on a four-kilometer run past her nostalgic spots, such as club Claire and club Lovelee. Passion DEEZ takes the experienced runners on a seven-kilometer route through, among other things, the Jordaan. The route starts and ends at concept store OALLERY, where running brand ON shows its latest running shoe, which lights up after sunset to stay in the ADE theme...

You can participate in the run until October 23. 

5. Conference 

In addition to the well-stocked party agenda there is also a whole program with interesting speakers from the industry. For example, interesting themes will be discussed such as 'artificial intelligence'. For example, have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a conversation with an AI-generated version of yourself?
