Each year, ADE Green brings together those who believe that the global electronic music industry can be a powerful force for change. This first glimpse of the 2025 program reflects what ADE Green stands for: exploring the urgent questions shaping our industry and inviting you to be part of the conversation.

These first programs reflect ADE Green’s commitment to addressing the most urgent and relevant questions in our field: from how festivals can lead the way in circularity and sustainability, to navigating the ethical and social challenges shaping today’s music industry.  Get your ticket here to join the conversations.

What’s Next for Circular Festivals?

Since 2019, over 50 European festivals have worked side by side in the Green Deal Circular Festivals. Together, they’ve experimented, tested, and shared what works. Now, five years on, it’s time to ask: what has been achieved? What remains to be done? And where are the real barriers that keep us from going further? With insights from industry pioneers, this session looks both back and forward—taking stock of lessons learned while opening the door to what comes next.

Green Transition of European Festivals: Status, Vision, Action

No single festival or organisation can transform the sector alone. This interactive session invites both experts and the audience to an honest dialogue on what is needed for faster, collective progress. Guided by Claire O’Neill (AGF) and featuring voices from Roskilde and ESNS, this is less a panel than an opportunity to co-create sustainability strategies for all of us.

Honest Climate Conversations

What happens when we strip away the structure of a typical panel and simply listen—to music, to feelings, to each other? In collaboration with Mindworks Lab, this intimate session invites two artists to share tracks that move them and unpack the emotions behind them. Through these musical touchpoints, the conversation explores climate, storytelling, and the emotional significance of music in the climate crisis.

AI for Impact: Smarter Sustainability Reporting

Understanding your impact is the first step to reducing it—but measuring it can feel daunting and complex. This workshop makes it accessible: together, we will explore how accessible AI tools can help demystify sustainability reporting and empower you to analyse your data, quickly and effectively. Practical, hands-on guidance to help you get started and feel confident about tracking your event’s footprint.

Meet the Experts: Sustainability & Social Change Speeddates

14 experts. 5 rounds. 1 hour to have the conversations you won’t find anywhere else. This speed-dating format is your chance to connect directly with the thinkers and doers reshaping our field. Limited seats, maximum access: come early, ask bold questions, leave with ideas and contacts that can help you take the first or next impactful step.
