Following the recently announced Insider Knowledge series with global leaders at TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Beatport and TuneCore, the ADE Pro conference is rapidly shaping up with over 20 additional program highlights.


Dillon Francis on Amplifying Digital Momentum Navigating the digital realm has become pivotal for any artist's success, and Dillon Francis’ ability to attract a global audience across multiple platforms is undeniable. During ADE Pro, Francis discusses the essential ingredients of building a personal brand, keeping a large community engaged, and the synergy between his online persona and his musical career.


The Future of Festivals The organisers of a global roster of festivals and live events including Sziget, DGTL, Exit Festival, ARC Music Festival in Chicago, Rise Festival, Milkshake, Neopop Festival and STRAF_WERK, join ADE Pro for an extended program on the future of festivals, overcoming today’s challenges facing live events, the industry’s financial dynamics, and what organisers need to do to guarantee the long-term health and viability of the sector.


Predicting hits: Human vs. Machine Presenting an exploration of a large potential shift in our industry, ADE Pro delves into Neuroforecasting - where neuroscience meets artificial intelligence. New research suggests that hits can be forecasted with a staggering 97% accuracy, and Dr. Paul J. Zak, Dr. Alexander Genevsky, and Kim Hoekema (A&R, Sony Music) are set to explore how technological advancements can enhance the A&R process in an eye-opening session.


Creating the Iconic Score of The White Lotus Cristobal Tapia de Veer is known for his iconic score behind HBO's The White Lotus. The music actually has one of the leading roles in the hit series. Tapia de Veer joins ADE Pro as part of BMIM x ADE to elaborate on the process and making of the award winning score.
