The ADE Pro Conference has announced a new wave of speakers for its landmark 30th anniversary edition, with Mochakk, Solarce Brothers, Josh Baker, SPFDJ, Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), Gideon Berger, Pedro Winter (Busy P), and Sarah Williams joining this year’s lineup. Their addition follows earlier announcements, including Jean-Michel Jarre as the Guest of Honour and the first confirmed ADE Pro speakers, Mosimann, Novah, and LYZZA.

This year’s conference will continue to spotlight Brazil, the MENA region, and Sub-Saharan Africa, while exploring three central themes shaping the future of electronic music: Market Consolidation and the Future of Independence, Rebuilding Our Relationship With (Big) Tech, and Collective Action.
The newly announced speakers will contribute to discussions examining both the creative and business transformation of the electronic music industry. Sessions will cover the emergence of new music scenes, artist-driven entrepreneurship, technological innovation, the future of independent music, and the growing influence of music in driving social impact.
The latest announcement also highlights several sessions closely aligned with ADE Pro’s 2026 themes. Ed Banger founder Pedro Winter (Busy P) and Because Music founder Emmanuel de Buretel will reflect on their long-standing collaboration, discussing how their partnership helped build one of the most influential independent music ecosystems and what it signals for the future of the independent sector.
Rounding out the programme, Gideon Berger, Sarah Williams, and Matt Black will join “The State of Emergency: Music Leaders at the Forefront of Change,” a panel exploring how the global music community can inspire collective action, strengthen solidarity, and respond to today’s social challenges.
