Twenty-seven years and still going strong: music rights organisation BumaStemra and ADE are closely linked. Ever since 1996, when the buzz of electronic music began to spread globally and Amsterdam Dance Event saw the light, BumaStemra contributed to the first edition of the yearly gathering of the entire music industry as we know it. A good reason to celebrate at ADE Pro with panels and talks, plus an exciting cocktail hour in main Business Hub Felix Meritis on ADE Friday.
The Dutch electronic music industry is unique in its ways, with internationally successful composers, DJs, labels, publishers, festival organisers, and clubs serving as the backbone of our community. BumaStemra aims to support people working in the music industry, both creatively and economically. Licensing tracks, lyrics, or beats is essential in building careers. BumaStemra plays a vital role in this process and ensures that the creator gets rewarded wherever music is heard.
The Dutch organisation invites electronic music composers, producers, beatmakers, DJs, and other creative professionals to network and present their tracks to labels and publishers during ADE Pro. BumaStemra participates in the ADE Pro Conference and in ADE Lab with panels about online licensing in Europe, club monitoring, investment funds and how to make the most out of them, and music rights on tour, besides a cocktail gathering on ADE Friday at Felix Meritis.
Celebrate twenty-seven years of partnership with ADE and BumaStemra on ADE Friday. No registration is needed for ADE Pro visitors.
