Amsterdam Dance Event has finalized its ADE Green program for the conference’s 30th anniversary, running as part of ADE from October 21-25, 2026. The sustainability and social-impact track returns to Felix Meritis on ADE Friday, with sessions spanning climate action, low-impact touring, community funding models and the social role of dance floors, according to the announcement.
New panel additions include discussions on battery technology and slow touring featuring representatives from Showpower, Courts Circuits and Backlash Productions, as well as a session on scene funding with perspectives from Kyiv, Ramallah and Beirut. Another panel addresses how extreme weather, including a forecast super El Niño, could affect festivals and events. Organizations including Bridges for Music, In Place of War, Tectroit and She Said So will discuss equity and sustainability initiatives in a separate session.
ADE Green programming is accessible with an ADE Pro Pass, and the organization says further additions to the full ADE lineup will be announced in the coming month as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations.
