Radio Asia 2010





Radio Asia 2010 Press Release

Journey to the Digital Land: Addressing Diverse Radio Audiences and Markets

Radio broadcasters, communications academics and representatives of developmental agencies will gather to exchange views at the annual RadioAsia conference which is to be held for the first time in India in 2010. RadioAsia 2010 will be held in New Delhi from 22-24 February 2010, and will address pressing issues facing the resurgent radio broadcasting industry in India and the wider Asian region. RadioAsia - the only international radio programming event of its kind in the region – is organised annually by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), Asian Media Information and Communications Centre (AMIC) and Singapore Exhibition Services (SES). Over the years, this annual gathering of industry players has attracted a great deal of attention from radio broadcasters and other players in the radio industry across the world. Since its inception in 2005, eminent international speakers have gathered in Singapore to share their experiences in all spheres of the radio industry - public service, commercial and community radio.

In order to include a wider range of radio broadcasters in the conference, the organisers have now decided to rotate RadioAsia among different countries in the region, with the 2010 event being the first outside of Singapore. With developments unfolding in India at a rapid pace, the organisers believe that the timing of holding RadioAsia in India is opportune. The rotation of the event between different countries will enable radio broadcasters in those countries to participate and benefit from this international radio industry event.

RadioAsia 2010 will comprise a half day workshop followed by a two day conference where leading experts will deliver papers and presentations Most of the speakers and participants will be drawn from across Asia, but there will be many from the US and Europe as well.
