DGTL PARTNERS UP FOR FIRST GLOBAL ADE HACKATHON

---

DGTL, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) and Young Creators are joining hands to organise the first global hackathon for the festival and dance scene.

To stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship in the dance and festival scene, ADE 2016 will see DGTL, Young Creators and ADE joining forces to organize the first ever ADE Hackathon. As the electronic music scene is using data & technology more and more, the three parties acknowledge that it is of importance to discover further opportunities in this domain.

The collaboration between DGTL, ADE and Young Creators seems like a logical step since the missions and visions of all organizations are seamlessley integrated. With their DGTL Revolution program, DGTL is already well known for focussing on innovation, sustainability and awareness. Young Creators is also continuing to stimulate innovation by bringing young talents together in the fields of tech, media and entertainment.

At the ADE Hackathon, smart developers, designers and entrepreneurs are asked to think about the challenges that are faced by the dance and festival scene, but also to think about the opportunities that data and technology provide. A group of 100 selected bright minds will be invited to develop smart concepts, new apps and inspiration within a challenging timespan of 24 hours. Example topics include: Enhanced Festival Experience, Safety & Security, Dance & Travel and Festival Logistics. More program information will be announced via www.adehack.com!

The Amsterdam Dance Event takes place from 19 to 23rd of October. The Amsterdam Dance Event is organized by the Amsterdam Dance Event Foundation, an initiative of Buma. Official Partner ADE: KPN
