The Pulitzer Hotel will open its doors to one of the most exclusive events of Amsterdam Dance Event 2025: “Meet the Media.” This invite-only gathering for professionals in the electronic music industry is set for Thursday, October 23rd in the prestigious Garden Room.
The event, designed as a focused and dynamic networking session, will bring together some of the most influential names in international music media, from Mixmag and DJ Mag to Crack Magazine and Radio FG. Among the distinguished guests will be the only Italian representatives invited to participate: Enrico Lionello, CEO of Enjoy Media, and Cristiana Elli, also of the Italian media group.
Enjoy Media is a leading Italian force in electronic music communication, encompassing Enjoy Television, Rin Italia Network, and Trend Discotec. Their presence at this high-profile event marks a significant moment for Italy’s electronic music scene on the global stage.
Part of the “Meet the Professionals” series, “Meet the Media” is not a standard conference. Instead, it’s an interactive session structured like professional speed-dating. After a round of introductions, delegates will engage in a series of one-to-one meetings, offering a unique opportunity to pitch their project, publication, or brand directly to key media decision-makers from outlets like SLAM! (Netherlands), Crack Magazine (UK), and DJ Sound Mag (Brazil).
The inclusion of Lionello and Elli in this forum is more than a personal accolade; it’s a signal of the growing relevance of the Italian market internationally. It provides a crucial platform to bring an Italian perspective to a global conversation alongside managers like Mixmag’s Mark Pickuck and DJ Mag’s Iain McGoldrick. Enjoy Media, with its specialized communication focus and innovative vision, establishes itself as a credible and competitive player capable of engaging with established global media entities.
The event promises to be a catalyst for discussing the state of the music industry and specialized journalism, which is increasingly balanced between physical and digital, legacy brands and new platforms. In an age of information overload and virtual connections, “Meet the Media” champions the value of direct contact and face-to-face idea exchange.
This format could inspire new collaborations and business models, while also raising critical questions: Which media will survive the digital transformation? What role will content curators play in an oversaturated landscape? And how can Italian professionals carve out a space of influence in such a competitive global market? While one evening may not hold all the answers, this meeting provides a stimulating first ground for this essential discussion.
