THE MEETING POINT The Amsterdam Dance Event has everything for everyone.
T
he N°22 edition of the Amsterdam Dance Event is once again the place to be. An international meeting, based in one of the richest cultural cities in the world, will run from October 18 to 22, developing an extensive program with all kinds of proposals. Half conference, half festival, including discussions, talks, meetings, workshops, presentations, surprises, stories, gifts, experiences and more than a few intrapersonal interactions with people who enjoy the same things that we do, is the space where you have to be in order to dismiss the summer once and for all. On this occasion, the organization has decided to go one step further, surpassing what’s been done on their previous editions, showing that attention continues to grow and the city, with surprising elasticity, continues to adapt to the increasingly demanding requirements of a conglomerate of events that, each with its particular vision and its idea of the world, become a coherent whole.
This year, the Amsterdam Dance Event has managed to bring together more than 2500 artists in 140 spaces that, for five days, make Amsterdam a place where all languages are spoken, all genres are heard and you learn on every step. Whether you are just a fan of electronic music who wants to see your favorite artists in one of the great clubs of Amsterdam, you want to attend a workshop to learn about the new products offered by one of the key manufacturers in the industry, or you’re interested in discussing the future of electronic music with one of its spotlighted or behind-thescenes actors, the Amsterdam Dance Event has what you’re looking for. Over the next few pages, we’re going to recap last year’s edition and give you the lowdown about this new edition from a Latino perspective...
