We are excited to renew our partnership with ADE this year with activities that include a mentoring program for 40 mentors and mentees of all genders and an official shesaid.so space as part of the ADE Lab program on Thursday, October 19th.
we.grow at ADE 2023 is a mentorship program presented by shesaid.so and ADE Lab that connects mentors from the shesaid.so community with mentees selected by the Amsterdam Dance Event team.
This year, the program will focus on 4 areas of the music business, reflecting the tracks that attendees will be able to engage in as part of ADE Lab 2023:
- Artists
- Producers
- Mixed Media

The program will feature a total of 20 mentors and 20 mentees, with 5 mentor-mentee pairs per each of the four Lab areas.
Previous shesaid.so mentors come from companies such as Coachella Music Festival, Warner Music, Armada Music, Universal Music Group, YouTube Music, Meta, WME, CAA and more.
Mentors confirmed so far include Ballantine's Global Senior Brand Manager Lucy Andrews, Ghostly International / Spectral Sound's Label Manager of UK & Europe Yasmin Leung, DJ/Producer Cristina Lazic and Meta's Music Artist Partnerships executive Liz Miller, with many more names to be confirmed.
We are excited to return to ADE and create an environment where the global ADE and shesaid.so communities can connect, learn from each other and experience the latest trends in music. shesaid.so Founder, Andreea Magdalina, states:
