Radio TechCon 2026 – Sessions
Radio TechCon 2026 takes place on Monday, 23rd November 2026 at IET London: Savoy Place.
The Radio TechCon team is working hard to create our programme – sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear when the full line-up is announced.
The first few sessions can now be revealed…
- TAMS – Time Addressable Media Storage – a new way of managing your audio, linked to time. You’ll be able to learn some of the theory so you can use it in your work and then hear from a pioneering student radio station who were among the first in the world to implement it in real life.
- The latest intel on speech – speech intelligibility is a hot topic. People switch off if they can’t understand your presenters. The latest research from the University of Salford will help you understand best practice to keep your audience listening for longer.
- Radio Christmas – we know, it’s still only Autumn! But a team in Amersham is already preparing to broadcast around the world in December – including collaborating with studios in Guatemala. Learn how the technology coordination happens behind-the-scenes to make everything work without breaking the budget.
- Mini-Masterclass: It’s About Time – from PTP to synching, GPS and beyond – why time is so crucial for broadcast technology – and why it’s so hard to get right! With experts from the National Physical Laboratory and the BBC.
- STV Studios – The technical story of how STV built a brand new radio station for Scotland, and what television engineers can learn from radio (and vice-versa). Got a new project in the works? Been asked to do something in an area outside your usual comfort zone? This session is for you!
- Fun with fridges – As yet more supermarket fridges have been hacked across Europe, what can broadcasters learn about their own network security? An ethical hacker will reveal the tricks of their trade and help you make a plan to secure your infrastructure …before someone else gets there first.
- Virtualising transmission in Sweden – Bauer Media Sweden has been upgrading its transmission infrastructure. Broadcast project experts will explain the pros, cons and lessons learned from moving their transmission to the cloud with tips if you are planning a project of your own.
And more to be announced very soon!
