“We are proud to partner with A2IM to celebrate this anniversary during Indie Week,” says ADA Worldwide President Eliah Seton. “This year marks our biggest yet, and we look forward to all there is to come for our artist and label partners. This event is an opportunity for all of us to be fans and to celebrate and thank the amazing artists and labels who inspire us and move us every day.”

“I think that I speak on behalf of the entire staff when I say that we’re all extremely proud to be part of the ADA team during this milestone in the organization’s lifespan, in conjunction with all of the label and artist partners that make up this family,” says ADA President of A&R and Label Services, Kenny Weagly. “It has been exciting to take part in growing the company into the global services organization that it is today, providing a wide variety of partners access to the most up to date resources needed to navigate ever-evolving worldwide industry trends, consumption patterns, and consumer engagement. We look forward to celebrating with the best of the indie community on this night!”

Adds ADA President of Sales and Label Management, David Orleans, “I view this event as less of a beginning or an end to something but rather a super fun transition that celebrates our rich history and what we know to be an exciting future.”

“Congratulations to ADA on an amazing 25 years of serving the independent community. You rode the bull and the bear equally well. Great job, we look forward to the next 25!” says Richard James Burgess, CEO, A2IM (American Association of Independent Music).
