With IP at the heart of broadcasting’s future, codecs are increasingly the gateways of content assimilation and distribution
Radiodays Europe’s General Manager Peter Niegel has announced the 2021 event originally slated for May 2–4 in Lisbon will now take place Oct. 9–11 at the same location and online. This, he says, will allow for both an in-person gathering for those who wish to attend plus a hybrid online offering.
“Vaccination programs worldwide while changing the direction of the pandemic are right now not moving in such a way that an event will be possible in May,” Niegel said in a statement.”However, by October we feel that movement between countries will be more open; also the standard for safe conferences will have progressed. For this reason we are moving the in-person conference to autumn for 2021.”
He ensures that the conference will be available as a hybrid online and on-demand offering for those who do not wish to attend in-person. “We know that this is another change of plans but due to the continuing threat of Covid-19 we wish to ensure the safety of delegates, speakers and all involved in the Radiodays Europe event,” he added.
The venue for Radiodays Europe 2021 is the CCL in Lisbon, and the organization notes that May 2020 tickets will be valid for the October event, whether joining in-person or online. It’s also possible to change the name on your ticket if the designated person can’t make the new dates. To do so write to rde@meetx.se. In addition, all 2020 purchased tickets are valid for 2021.
