“The thing I admire the most about the dance music community, is their organization and their world acknowledgment to the public. They serve them. The technology flip from vinyl into CDs and MP3s has made this transition on the turntables seamless. The panels were fantastic and informative. Oh how great it would be if hip hop just borrowed a slice of their managing commitment from the dance realm headed and organized by ADE.”

“The ADE keeps gaining popularity on all fronts, whether you’re a fresh artist starting out or a top level high roller. Everyone who attends is doing business and it’s good to gauge what shape the dance scene is in. I see it as a mandatory weapon to display my music, do my interviews for radio and play my dj sets to the international eyes and ears of the industry! The panels discuss items that should interest each and all making the ADE a cross-platform conference that is bridging gaps and connecting artists with labels and vice versa” Lucien Foort / NL
“ADE '07 was far more than just a celebration of Dance Music within Europe. I found the entire event -and our panel in particular- to be a provocative exploration of the genre's future throughout the world. ADE has quickly become a significant international conference, and I absolutely look forward to next year's event. Steve Schnur / EA Games / USA
“The only dance conference to combine great parties with genuine business opportunities (preferably after midday...)” Judge Jules / BBC Radio 1 / UK
“My first ADE but definitely not my last, ADE has just about everything you’d look for in a music gathering. Information, entertainment and possibly the most diverse collection of parties at any dance gathering on the planet… from minimal, trance and techno to dubstep, drum & bass and electronica. And even the bouncers are polite and efficient.” Allan McGrath / DJ Magazine / UK
"The ADE simply gets better and better every year. It is one event that is truly focussed on Dance as an industry and as a focus on business. The club events during the week support the ADE event rather than take the focus from the ADE event - it is still a record industry event rather than a club promoters event - I locked down numerous tasty deals for Pacha Recordings while at this years ADE" Steve Glen Hulme / Pacha Recordings / Ibiza / ES
‘I feel that the Amsterdam Dance Event is quickly becoming the most important dance music conference worldwide. Miami is huge too of course, but if you ask me, Amsterdam is already just as big in terms of deals and business.’ Junkie XL / NL
"It was a great experience to be involved in such a prestigious event. I founded to be one of the better conferences is still around. I enjoyed the panels very well, participating. I hope in the future that I can return and be part of it again." Kevin Saunderson / USA
