JUNE 15–17 2025
REDTECH SUMMIT
RedTech Summit 2025 is a fourth and a first — the 4th event in the series and the first venue to top a wish list. At the close of RedTech Summit 2024 in Lisbon, we polled attendees to where we should go next. The answer was unequivocal: The picturesque Italian Lake District. So, the next RedTech International CXO Summit is at the beautiful Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées in Stresa, on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
We’re inviting 35 CXOs to exchange insights
Some of the areas we’ll be covering in 2025 include:
- How to remain competitive in an increasingly digital audio landscape dominated by hyperscalers like Spotify, Apple, Alphabet/YouTube and Amazon, the industry must prioritise cross-border collaboration. This session explores the urgent need for collaboration within the broadcast audio industry. It will discuss how embracing GenAI and developing a Radio LLM can empower the industry to counter current trends and drive renewed growth.
- One Currency – Simplify Audio Now: The global broadcast audio industry, while cost-effective and impactful, lacks a standardized currency for measurement. Top markets rely on diverse research metrics, hindering comparison and growth. In contrast, the digital industry thrives on universally understood metrics like CPM, CPA, Impressions, CTA, and CAC.
- New sources of revenue generation from non-traditional sources, including an examination of paywalls and subscription models.
- How to use AI technologies to improve workflows, enhance efficiency, supercharge creativity. Sorting the useful from the hype.

ABOUT REDTECH SUMMIT 2025
SETTING THE STAGE
Sitting between Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy’s northwest and running parallel to neighboring Lake Como, Lake Maggiore is the second-largest lake in Italy, reaching through the Alps into Switzerland.
The five-star Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées is one of the region’s most iconic hotels. With over 150 years of history, this elegant hotel blends Italian tradition with stunning views of Lake Maggiore and the magnificent Borromean Islands and yet is only a short distance from Milan and the main international airports of Northern Italy. The interiors reflect timeless luxury — expect sweeping marble floors, high vaulted ceilings and chandeliers — and the expansive grounds feature two swimming pools, a spa and meticulously maintained lawns, providing an ideal setting for both business and relaxation.
The hotel’s prestige and enviable location — an ideal location for a RedTech Summit — have made it a popular destination for leading figures during its long history. Winston Churchill chose it as a honeymoon location and Ernest Hemingway stayed there during his recovery from injuries sustained in World War I. The hotel is featured in his semi-autobiographical novel, “A Farewell to Arms,” and named one of its most exclusive suites after the famous American writer.

What else makes the RedTech Summit different?
Our event is also different in the way we have set up the venue. We forego an auditorium style to create a roundtable. At this roundtable, you sit as equals with CEOs and CTOs from media markets across the world and debate the critical issues, managed by experienced, knowledgeable expert facilitators, who will guide each day’s deliberations to ensure a practical, implementable outcome. During the included coffee, lunch and happy hour breaks, you’ll get the opportunity to exchange ideas one on one with your peers.
