MMR09 is taking place in
Prague, the historic city chosen by the European Union to launch its Year of Creativity and Innovation. It is a happy coincidence because MMR09 will be about the renaissance of radio through the creativity and innovation of broadcasters.
Multimedia Meets Radio aims to promote good practices, stimulate creativity and provide a showcase for original content from public service media. It is the only EBU event that looks at new audiences, new platforms and new opportunities from the point of view of radio.
This year’s conference will feature some of the best ideas and projects from around the world. Guest speakers will lead the conversation about the future of media.
Topics on the agenda will include internet radio, interactivity and podcasting. Distinguished speakers will address issues such as developing content for youth audiences, new trends in user metrics and the impact on traditional broadcasting of social networks.
MMR09 is an important networking event for producers, webmasters, journalists, developers and new media executives. It is an opportunity for learning from the experience of others, exchanging ideas and sharing expertise.
For the first time, the most innovative content presented at MMR09 will be submitted to the jury responsible for the new media category of Spain’s prestigious Premios Ondas. The awards, which go back more than half a century, pay tribute to excellence in media.
The EBU is the largest association of national broadcasters in the world with 75 active members and 45 associate members. The EBU helps public service broadcasters to deliver unique high quality programming to their audiences.
The EBU offers members technical, operational and legal services, and coordinates a growing supply of quality content for radio, television and new platforms.
