You can walk around the _exhibition_ for free if you pre-register.


The _programme_ of speakers doesn't seem to be on the website yet, but
I have it in paper form.

It includes...

Digital One's view on the 2nd Mux (Glyn Jones, DOO, Digital One)
New opportunities arising with the 2nd Mux (Natalie Schwarz, DOR, CH4)
Leading up to the switch over and the issues surrounding it (Peter
Davies, OfCom)


Leading up to the switchover? Leading up to the switchover? I think the
title of that presentation should really be "Leading up to the lead-up to
the eventual switchover", cos it's bleeding years away.


The state of satellite radio
DMB-T (Yannick Andre-Masse, CEO, VDL, France)
Internet radio
DAB+ (2 hours including Tech overview, advantages, Australian
listeners, receiver availability, Future in Europe)
EPGs
On Demand

There are two days of talking, 18 key speakers (yes, our old friends
Quentin Howard and James Cridland will be there).


I was told that Mr Cridland recently gave a presentation somewhere and his
justification for radio not being in decline amongst young audiences
amounted to the fact that Virgin Radio DJs hang around with rock stars, and
the audience fell about laughing, apparently. How embarrassing.


Getting in to hear the speakers is a bargain - only £993.76 for the
two days if you book now.


It'd be cheaper just to stand outside with a billboard saying "You're just a
bunch of liars".


I'm sure someone here will be interested.

If it was free to hear the speakers, I'm sure several people here
would be interested, though they would probably be escorted from the
premises for heckling fairly sharpish!


Yes, I'd have to come up with some way of smuggling in rotten tomatoes to
throw at 'em.
