We are excited to announce our return to Amsterdam in 2022 as part of an official partnership with ADE that includes two Pro talks, a mentoring program and the official shesaid.so space at ADE powered by ZORA and hosted at Lynk & Co’s flagship Amsterdam club.
shesaid.so has been working with ADE since 2017 with a focus on programming around diversity and inclusion in the music industry.
In 2022 we are working even more closely together to bring back the we.grow mentoring program, curate talks as part of ADE Pro, and introduce a shesaid.so space as part of the ADE Lab track powered by ZORA and hosted at Lynk & Co’s flagship Amsterdam Club.
The shesaid.so space at ADE 2022 powered by ZORA will feature a full day of programming on Friday October 21st; the first half of the day will include activities related to the mentoring program as well as public-facing talks, networking and electronic music. The second half of the day will exclusively focus on web3 discussions, performances and networking - plus a music NFT gallery and other interactive exercises designed to educate and showcase what’s possible within the web3 ecosystem.
Our goal with the shesaid.so space was to create an inclusive environment where our global community attending ADE can connect with one another and other industry professionals, in addition to learning. The program will reflect some of the most ardent topics from the shesaid.so world - including diversity & inclusion and more industry-facing discussions. Last but not least, the space will highlight initiatives and creatives curated from the community and provide promotional opportunities for showcasing talent.

ADE Pro Talk
shesaid.so presents: Why communities are the future of the music industry.
A roundtable hosted by Kat Young (ZORA) with Christine Osazuwa (shesaid.so), SUCHI (Daytimers), and Sam Schoonover (Coachella).
The music industry is constantly being reshaped by new technologies. Since the advent of the World Wide Web, power has slowly shifted away from gatekeepers and into the hands of creators, curators and the community overall. In spite of that, the internet as we know it has also led to a bottleneck of influence & commerce in the hands of a few tech companies and the people who lead them. At the same time, more and more communities started leveraging these digital tools to connect with one another, collectively organize and reclaim the music ecosystem. Today, web3 is promising to disrupt, decentralize and provide transparency once again. This discussion aims to disseminate these trends and look at case studies that hypothesize why communities are the future of the music industry.
