New Radio Day 2023

11 - 12 Oct 2023

We are delighted to invite you to the EBU New Radio Day 2023, hosted by ORF in Vienna.

The annual New Radio Day is the meeting point for those working in radio innovation across EBU organizations. It puts an emphasis on meaningful conversations and real connections, and this must be reflected in the format of the event. Similar to the 2022 edition, this year’s edition will also be run as an unconference. This highly interactive format will allow all participants to build the agenda together and engage in exciting discussions around innovation, new practices, digital transformation, and many other topics.

To take part in the pre-event brainstorming around potential topics for discussion have a look at our wiki page (Members only).

The event will start on 11 October afternoon and will end on 12 October evening.

Practical information about the event, including hotel recommendations, and preparation details for the event can be found in the document section below.
