Day 2, New Radio Day, and early bird tickets are for EBU Members only.
What is happening in the world around us and why should we care? As the year draws to an end, we look at the big trends coming our way and how they affect public broadcasters. Yle (Finland) will give a snapshot of the trends affecting public broadcasters today, ASBU (Asia Broadcasting Union) will be talking about the digital trends in Asia, and finally we will discover the metaverse with Wunderman Thompson Intelligence.
What is the ideal multi-platform strategy? Or is there even an ideal one? We encounter so many different platforms daily, but our behaviour on these platforms is constantly changing and evolving. Instagram, BR/SWR, and Vice will demonstrate how they brought WW2 activist, Sophie Scholl, to life for this day and age, Play Suisse (SRG SSR) will celebrate its one year anniversary and tell us what they learned this year, and we will discover the world of video in the car from Polestar and SVT.
What does it take to succeed on TikTok? How can you bring archives to life in a new way? how can you repurpose an old debate format work for today's young audiences?
Data is everywhere these days. Even though it's at our fingertips, data remains elusive and hard to decipher. How do we find the beauty in data? How do we understand the story it's trying to tell us and discover the insights needed to improve our approach? In this session, we'll learn how to look at the big data picture with a presentation from NRK (Norway) and BBC (UK), compare data from Instagram Reels and Tiktok by DW (Germany) and finally uncover the fun in the data from The Pudding (USA).
Part 1: The Public Service Media Audio-on-Demand Landscape report gave us a look at the audio world, but what do we make of it? Should we be digital-first or audio-first? Should we be on all 3rd party platforms? The report's author and some select Members will discuss the findings of the report and what lies ahead for public broadcasters' own audio platforms.
Part 2: We find ourselves in a new age of audio on platforms. Suddenly, audio is everywhere, even on legacy social media platforms. What has changed? Is everyone a podcaster or an audiophile now? And where does that leave public broadcasters and their content/distribution strategies? We will be joined by Facebook Audio and Spotify to discuss the developments in this space.
How have our in-car habits changed? Do we create our own listening experience or do we rely on others to curate and inspire us? In this session, we listen to the different scenarios for the future of in-car radio and how public broadcasters can maintain their relevance and strength within the car.
