Essam Jansen and Alex Hes are taking students and young professionals through the different levels and sectors of the event industry at ADE University.

When Essam Jansen and Alex Hes first teamed up to put on a party, they did it out of sheer frustration because they didn't see the kind of nights they wanted. Yet, since then they've created an International corporation with E&A Events, from the Don't Let Daddy Know sessions they started in Privilege, Ibiza, to festivals that take place in the Netherlands, UK and right across South and East Asia. Next to that, they work hand in hand with names like Martin Garrix and Don Diablo to build events in all of electronic music. 

To have them at ADE University, in the midst of E&A's busy ADE schedule that includes among others DLDK, TIKTAK, and two Martin Garrix events, is a great opportunity for the students to learn from their experience - which, of course, covers just about every level and sector of the industry. Better still, they've chosen to bring Karan Badkar from Envision India to join them for their reading. Karan's presence will help give some insights into the fastest-growing areas in the world of dance festivals and help explain how Essam and Alex have built their contacts and infrastructure in India and across Asia. 

ADE University takes place on Wednesday, October 16th till Friday, October 18th.

This year ADE University introduces a new format for rapidly rising young professionals with a story to tell.

Alongside students, young professionals under 30 will join  ADE University for the first time. Both students and graduates can enjoy the complete program, which now also features a brand new concept under the name What's Next?. 

In What's Next?, young execs who are well on their way and working up the career ladder will be given the opportunity to talk honestly about how it is to be in their shoes. In a rapid-fire 20 minute session, they describe how they got their first break, what they did to build on it, what that has led to so far, what they hope to achieve in the coming 12 months and what they ultimately want from their careers. 

The sessions will also look at individual career strategies including how our speakers plan their moves, through to embracing the idea of not planning anything at all, which can also be regarded as another kind of career advancement strategy. The What's Next? sessions offer a look inside the lives of people who fight to be respected and recognised, giving ADE University attendees a glimpse of the ups and downs of building a career in the highly competitive entertainment sector.  

Speakers confirmed so far are Udaravi Widanapathirana of Inertia Music and Dominic Furber of the PAXX Group, both from Australia, as well as Mickelle Heijmans, artist manager and owner of Mickster Management from the Netherlands.

ADE University takes place on Wednesday October 16th till Friday October 18th.

A program full of interactive discussions, keynotes and Q&A’s, workshops and more are awaiting students who aspire to be the music professionals of the future.

ADE is built around networking, letting the people of the industry actually spend some quality time with one another and reminding ourselves that dance music is a community above all else. This goes tenfold for ADE University. Here, a carefully selected group of young hopefuls who are starting out in the industry will get the hot-house treatment. They're getting face-to-face with people at the top of the game, and just as importantly receive a chance to network and feel plugged into the broader music world.
The memories come thick and fast from other attendees. “I remember the owner of I Love Techno Belgium talking about innovation in events and about game events,” says Kimberly Tanikromo, now working as San Holo’s Bit Bird label manager. “I remember artist managers talking about dealing with bad news and hearing a promoter talking about how they booked Daft Punk for 300 gulden when they weren't famous yet!” Carry Wagner, now tour coordinator for a booking agency, remembers meeting Martin Garrix's booker, Laidback Luke's former manager, and a non-stop carousel of company visits, backstage tours and much more.
Everyone will gain something different from the ADE University, but the crucial thing is the experience itself. “It gave me another chance,” says de Keizer, “To learn how to network better, meet new people in the process and learn new things". Wagner sums it up perfectly: “You cycle around the city from location to location to attend all these keynotes, backstage tours, company visits etc. It can be exhausting, especially when it rains. But it pays off - you learn a lot and you grow your network. I think this is a representation of how this industry works. Take as much in during ADE Uni, it does prepare you for what there is to come.”
The complete ADE University program can be found here and features speakers such as Headhunterz + team, Matrixxman, Ralph Echemendia (The Ethical Hacker) and Sasha/Late Night Tales as well as representatives from Ace Agency, Audio Obscura, Q-dance, the Seoul's underground dance scene and much more.
