Badge
The ADE badge is meant for identification purposes only and doesn’t grant access to the ADE festival or conference program.

Wristband
ADE uses two types of wristbands: day passes and 4-day passes. Day pass holders only have access to the ADE conference program on a particular day. 4-day pass holders have access to both the conference and festival program  within the duration of ADE. Please note that in case you have lost your wristband, you will need to pay the full amount to obtain a new registration.

Conference bag

ADE participants will receive their special conference bag at the registration desk.


Getting around

Tram
Trams are an easy way to get around in Amsterdam, with routes heading out from the centre in all directions. Tram journeys are paid for using ‘strippenkaarten’, which can be bought at stations and newspaper kiosks. During each journey, your ticket is stamped until there are no more valid strips left. It is also possible to buy a single journey ticket on a tram, though this will cost more than using a ‘strippenkaart’. Up-to-date time schedules can be requested at the registration desk.
From Amsterdam Central Station you can take Tram lines 1 to Osdorp de Aker or 2 to Nieuw Sloten and exit at Keizersgracht or you can take lines 13 to Geuzenveld or 17 to Osdorp-Dijkgraafplein and exit at Westermarkt. From both stops it is only a short walk to both conference locations.

Bike
The easiest way to travel in Amsterdam is by bike. Amsterdam has a lot of rental shops, of which MacBike is commonly used. Their shops are located at Leidseplein and Amsterdam Central Station. For more information, click here.

Conference program

Turn off mobile phones
Please turn off mobile phones before entering a panel room.

Festival program

Capacity Club/venues
As the ADE festival program spoils both professionals and festival visitors with great line ups, it can happen that a club or venue reaches its maximum capacity and access can be denied. Therefore we advise you to arrive on time.

Door policy clubs/venues

Most clubs and venues have specific rules that visitors have to abide to. We wouldn’t call them strict but in order to keep clubbing fun and safe, no drugs or weapons are allowed.
