The annual Audio and Radio Futures Forum (formerly New Radio Day) brings together professionals working in innovation across the EBU. This community of radio geeks and audio nerds — in the best possible sense — explores and creates the future together.
The Forum blends a traditional conference with an 'unconference', offering open spaces for deeper conversations around trending topics, and greater flexibility for networking and learning.
Please note that NRD 2021 and NDR 2022 editions were organised during the Digital Media Days.
New Radio Day has established itself as an inspiring and highly productive meeting point for all those interested in innovation in radio and audio. The 2024 edition will look at recent projects exploring smart ways to use AI in radio production and audio content creation, explore what works and what doesn’t for our own listening apps, and consider the latest developments on the all-important topic of in-car radio.
Thanks to the unconference format, which we’re adopting for the third year running, you can put your most important topics on the agenda. Complemented by a set of inspiring keynote presentations on the opening afternoon, our unconference will allow you to dive into a full day of highly interactive and engaging discussions and brainstorms. Join us!
To take part in the pre-event brainstorming around potential topics for discussion have a look at our wiki page (Members only).
The agenda includes details on the conference part on 16 October and the unconference on 17 October. As you know, it’s very important that all participants stay until the end of the day, for the closing circle. Therefore, please make sure you reserve a full day for the unconference on 17 October and take your flight tickets accordingly
