Out of all the types of media, Radio is quite possibly the one that confronts professionals with the greatest degree of disruption, the greatest variety of challenges, but also the greatest number of opportunities to be seized. The next installation of our annual Digital Radio Summit (17 February) will once again tune into the cross-over point between traditional linear radio experiences and the potential for reach, enrichment and personalization offered by digital radio technology, hybrid radio, in-car entertainment systems and other app-based listening environments.
Due to the current travel restrictions, the 2021 event is held fully virtually – but as always, we plan for an informative and interactive day. Visit the DRS 2021 event page to view the programme and to register.
Employees of most public service media in Europe, Russia the Middle East, Japan, Canada Australia and others can join for free!
