Selection of comments from DJ’s who have attended ADE;
 
“Amsterdam Dance Event is like a Tapas bar where you get a lot of small snacks at one place. Because all DJ's at ADE play for just an hour or so, you get a preview of a lot of different kinds of electronic music at one event."  Armin van Buuren, NL
 
"It's very rare to mix up the words relaxed and business together, ADE does this easily, you always end up with results in a friendly atmosphere, it mirrors the spirit of Amsterdam, subsequently it is always a highlight in my diary"  Dave Clarke, The Netherlands
 
"This year's ADE reminds me of what happens when you take early WMC and mix it with MIDEM. You have lots of parties and then in the day you have panels and exhibits about the real issues surrounding club music currently. All the while, you're exchanging conversation with all the movers and shakers of the industry. Its truly one of dance music's most important weeks on the calendar!" Dave Dresden, US
 
"I am a big supporter of ADE and I've said this before...it is the only conference that offers a perfect balance between business and party time, in my opinion. It's well organized and people come away with much than expected. I was happy to be a part of two panels this year. Taking part was a no brainer because I feel the ADE Panels have THE best selection of artists, participants etc. Had a great time."   DJ Pierre, USA
 
“For me this year's ADE was amazing, all the key players were there and some good old fashioned ''word of mouth'', after a very successful release party, definitely helped getting the international offers in for my new album, as well as new collaborations and many other exciting possibilities. What can I say...things came together perfectly!”  Don Diablo, NL
 
"If you are a music producer, dj, promoter, club owner, organiser...anything like that: this is the place everybody is, you're right in the heart of dance music here!" Ferry Corsten, NL
 
"It's just right. It's not too intense, it's not too boring, it's not too crazy; it's just a bit of everything and unless you're here you won't know what you're missing." John Acquaviva, CA
 
“The only dance conference to combine great parties with genuine business opportunities” Judge Jules, BBC Radio 1, UK
 
“It was a great experience to be involved in such a prestigious event. I found it to be one of the better conferences still around. I enjoyed participating in the panels very much. I hope in the future that I can return and be part of it again." Kevin Saunderson ,USA
 
“Without a shadow of a doubt this is the most relevant business orientated conference in the world.” Mark Knight , Toolroom Records, UK

“One of the most important music conferences for electronic music in the world.”  Paul van Dyk, DE
 
‘I was very impressed with the set up, the location and the professionalism of the whole event. Business was genuinely done in the day and the panels seemed to provoke some meaningful debates. The night life was pretty awesome. Across three nights there were some amazing parties – all very busy and very exciting.’ Pete Tong, BBC Radio 1, UK
