shesaid.so and ADE have been working together since 2017, with a shared commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the music industry. Over the years, the two organizations have collaborated on a variety of initiatives, including:

  • Panels and workshops: shesaid.so has curated and hosted panels and workshops at ADE on a wide range of topics, including gender equality, mental health, and financial literacy.

  • Mentorship programs: shesaid.so has partnered with ADE to offer mentorship programs for women and non-binary music professionals.

  • Networking events: shesaid.so has hosted networking events at ADE to provide opportunities for women and non-binary music professionals to connect with each other and with industry leaders.

The music industry is still largely dominated by men. Women and non-binary music professionals often face significant barriers to success. shesaid.so and ADE's partnership is helping to break down these barriers and create a more equitable and inclusive music industry.

shesaid.so and ADE are committed to continuing their partnership and working together to create a more inclusive music industry. In the future, the two organizations plan to expand their collaboration to include new initiatives, such as advocacy campaigns and research projects.

We renewed our partnership with ADE in 2023 with a full and exciting program. Our program included a mentoring program for mentors and mentees of all genders and an official shesaid.so space as part of the ADE Lab program on Thursday, October 19th 2023. We additionally contributed to the Pro conference schedule as well as relaunching the Amsterdam Chapter and teaming up with Cosmopolitan for their ADE Clubhouse.
