ADE (my favourite event of the year) has grown into the world’s largest and most influential club-based festival and conference for electronic music, featuring over 2,900 artists taking part in over 1000 events across 200+ venues throughout the city, welcoming around half a million visitors to the city. 

With only a few days left until the 28th edition, I had a quick chat with ADE directors Meindert Kennis and Jan-Willem Van de Ven about this year's hot topics, how the conference has grown since it began in 1996, their personal favourite parts of the conference, tips if it's your first time at ADE and of course... the weather over the next few days in the Dutch capital!
