Business Radio – This is a unique opportunity for those working in the business radio sector to meet together for the first time in some years and gain insights from each other and from the exhibitors.

This unique event provides, not only a platform for your sales team to touch base with current customers and meet new ones, but also allows you to browse for your own suppliers, make cross-industry connections and build relationships that will strenthen your business for years to come – all under one roof!
The gala dinner enables those longer relationship-building conversations to be had, with the opportunity to extend hospitality to selected customers. Workshop and plenary talks allow you to talk directly to your audience, demonstrate your latest products and gain valuable face time with potential customers.
