ID&T and ADE present ADE Green

ID&T and Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) will be launching the ADE Green sustainability initiative on the first day of the ADE. On 16 October, experts from the dance scene will take the stage at the Chicago Social Club to debate what they can do to promote a more sustainable dance industry. Representatives from prominent festivals and dance events, such as Burning Man, Mysteryland, Boom, Sensation and Julie’s Bicycle have already confirmed their presence at the debate. All participants hope that together they can launch a worldwide green dance movement.

Inspiring panel discussions
The ADE Green program will kick off at 12.00 and ends at 6.00 p.m. The panel discussions are targeted at event organizers, artists and their management. The discussions will focus on the challenges faced by the movement’s international pioneers, and how they find ways to incorporate sustainability in their business. The artists’ panel discussion will focus on the numerous opportunities for artists to get involved in social and sustainability initiatives, as well as what they can do to inspire their fans. The founder of the Green Music initiative, Jacob Bilabel, will be chairing the afternoon sessions. Representatives from Boom Festival, Mysteryland, Burning Man and more will be joining him on stage. Duncan Stutterheim (founder of ID&T) and Carlijn Lindemulder (Sustainability director ID&T) will close the discussions with a presentation on ID&T’s approach to sustainability, which will be followed by an informal networking session with drinks and food.
