   The 22nd edition of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) takes place October   
   18th-22nd in the Tolhuistuin, Brakke Grond and Melkweg venues with the Hello   
   DeLaMar Theater taking centre stage.   
      
   After 16 years in the Felix Meritis, the Amsterdam Dance Event, an initiative   
   of Buma, will be moving to the Nieuwe DeLaMar Theater this year to allow major   
   renovations to take place in its old venue. The Nieuwe DeLaMar is ideally   
   situated next to the    
   Leidseplein and De Melkweg and will also allow the event to bring previously   
   separately-housed events such as ADE Dance & Brands under one roof.   
      
   "Having been sold out for the last seven years, plus with more delegates   
   coming from an ever greater number of countries, especially Korea, China,   
   Africa, India and South America, the renovation of the Felix Meritis offers us   
   an opportunity to try a    
   different venue," ADE director Richard Zijlma, said. "We are excited and   
   optimistic about the new conferencing and networking possibilities that the   
   Nieuwe DeLaMar Theater offers, and we're confident that delegates will find it   
   a spectacular and    
   inspiring space."   
      
   New ticketing system   
   ADE has also introduced a new ticketing system this year that allows delegates   
   to choose between day and night time activities with a 5-day Daytime-only pass   
   now available. The classic 5 Days/Nights passes are also still on offer for   
   delegates who want    
   to embrace the vast range of business and entertainment possibilities that ADE   
   offers each year.   
      
   Spotlight on Morocco   
   The 2017 panel program is coming together with Morocco under the spotlight in   
   this year's ADE Global View. The North African country currently hosts 15   
   festivals each year including Atlas Electronic, Oasis, MOGA, Transahara and   
   Beyond Sahara that are    
   almost exclusively dedicated to electronic music, plus a range of large events   
   featuring world music (Gnaoua), jazz (Jazzablanca) pop (Vertigo) and sacred   
   music at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music. This forward-looking and   
   liberal-minded country    
   also has a healthy club scene with venues specialising in house music   
   (Tamasis), hip hop (555 Marrakech) and techno (Pacha Marrakech, Amnesia)   
   thriving throughout the country.   
      
   ADE's conference schedule will also feature We're Calling It Ethnotronic   
   covering the growing electronic scenes in South America, Africa and parts of   
   Asia where musicians are mixing local sounds with dance floor beats, Who's   
   Stealing Our Best Songs?,    
   looking at the land-grab by publishers as IP rights on classic sounds from the   
   80s expire.
