Sleeves up, hands-on: an overview of interactive sessions during ADE Green

Next week, ADE Green strikes down in the center of Amsterdam for its eighth edition. Besides a number of thought-provoking panels, the conference offers a wide array of hands-on sessions. From industry expert sessions, to interactive brainstorms and practical workshops of various sizes. Read on for an overview of these sessions, and more importantly: how to join us for these exchanges on October 21st.

Workshop Revelland: Make your event immersive and inclusive

Increasing the accessibility of events is often seen as something difficult, costly and time-consuming. But when all attendees benefit from an investment in event accessibility, it becomes much easier to get started and to offer a program that is both immersive and inclusive. This workshop shows how you can approach accessibility from an artistic point of view. It is facilitated by Nikki Manuputty, producer of festivals like Wildeburg and DGTL. She is joined on-stage by Marianne Dijkshoorn, advisor of the Eurovision Song Contest and the author of the book ‘Make your event accessible to everyone’.

Workshop: Circular Event Management

Event organisers with sustainable ambitions will agree: Getting the most out of your event’s valuable resources is a big challenge, fair and square. Closing the loop through circular event management is the future-proof way forward. But how to get this circular mindset started and into motion? Let Mitchell Van Dooijeweerd (Revolution Foundation) show you how to reduce your event’s footprint in terms of food, energy, sanitation and materials, by way of real, actionable examples.

Workshop: How Local Governments can foster Sustainable Innovation on Festival Grounds

Do you want to understand why and learn how you can build collaborations between local or regional governments, start-ups and festivals? In this workshop, Dennis Sieperda (Inno-Quarter), and Hiltje Pritchard (Lecturer Master’s Design Driven Innovation) guide you through designing, implementing and evaluating experiments at festival grounds in collaboration with local and regional governments – a workshop for festival organisers, policymakers, local or regional government representatives, and sustainable start-ups.

Brainstorm: How can the Dutch Music Community help address the Climate Crisis?

When it comes to the climate crisis, we are in this mess together. And the best way out is together, too. As the music industry has a great potential to bring people together and get them behind new, progressive ideas, we really have a role to play. That calls for a brainstorm, together with Mitchell van Dooijeweerd (DGTL), Frederike Berendsen (Music Declares Emergency NL) and Matthea de Jong (We Are Warming Up).
