Radiocentre's Tuning In Conference Returns As Livestreamed Event

Apr. 29, 2020

Radiocentre’s flagship conference, Tuning In, will take place next month as a special livestreamed event.

Taking place from 9:30am until 11:30am on Tuesday 19 May, the morning conference from the industry body will focus on the latest news and developments in commercial radio, with speakers from across the worlds of radio, advertising, politics and music. The streamed event will run on the same morning the conference had been planned to take place in central London. 

Radiocentre’s Planning Director, Mark Barber, will launch new FMCG research from the industry body at the event, with further speakers set to be announced on Radiocentre’s Twitter account over the coming weeks. With more people turning to radio for a link to the outside world, there has never been a more important time to shout about the nation’s most trusted medium, with evidence showing over a third (38%) of commercial radio listeners tuning in for an extra hour and 45 minutes each day since lockdown, and many stations reporting a double digit uplift in digital listening.

At last year’s sold out event, Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp, multi-Platinum artist Professor Green, Scala Radio presenter Angellica Bell and more appeared on stage to talk about what radio means to them.

Registration to the free event is open now and attendees can secure their place here.

Siobhan Kenny, Radiocentre CEO, said: 

“We were understandably disappointed when we announced that Tuning In 2020 would have to be rescheduled, so it gives me great pleasure to say that it will instead be taking place with a special livestream event. Throughout the crisis so far, radio has been entertaining, informing and generally keeping the world company. We hope to follow on in that spirit.”
