Upcoming events

30 Years of ADE || Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE): 21-25 October, 2026

I’ll be moderating two sessions at Amsterdam Dance Event this year with BumaStemra, looking at two very different but closely connected parts of the music business.

On Wednesday 21 October at ADE PRO, I’ll be hosting How to Build & Scale Your Own Publishing Business, with Quinten Moeshart, Stefan Blonk, Adam Salomon Ringhardt and Gina-Maria Penserini.

Then on Thursday 22 October at ADE LAB, I’ll be moderating Don’t Go Viral Broke: How next-gen DJs and producers protect their rights, money and credits from day one.

The first is about building a publishing company properly and growing it beyond the first few writers and songs. The second is about making sure the next generation of DJs and producers understand rights, splits, credits and money before momentum turns into problems.

ADE is celebrating 30 years this year, so it feels like a good moment to talk about both the businesses being built now and the people who will shape the next 30.

Thanks to BumaStemra for bringing both sessions into the programme.
