We’re off to Glastonbury - as you’ve never heard it before. Simone Lombardi is explaining how the BBC is using new AI techniques to separate stems live. This is much harder than it sounds! #radtechcon

From horses to dogs, as Dan McQuillin talks about future software standards in a way you might not expect…

We learning about what happened to the horse in Nybro. But there are so many horses in Nybro that it’s not such an easy question as it seems 🐴 #radtechcon.

BFBS is sharing what they launched from launching an esports tournament. This is a booming industry and there is a real need for the technical skills that radio tech people already have. Potential career move for you…? #radtechcon

Arqiva is up talking about DAB. "I realise that some people in this room invented it!" say Richard Knight.

He's using an analogy of a fruit smoothie to explain how multiplexing works. #radtechcon

Mini masterclass time now - a chance to revise an industry topic from scratch. Marianne Bouchart has travelled from France today to talk about AI for audio. The slides were being updated ‘til the last second as the information changes so quickly. #radtechcon

A session that combines planes AND radio?

Yes, yes, we know our audience! ;) #radtechcon

And now from broadcasting in another continent to broadcasting to your local area. John from Castledown FM is explaining how they had a forced move from on prem into the Cloud and the pros and cons for community stations like theirs. #radtechcon

Having been involved in solar powered transmission projects in South Sudan, am very pleased to be hearing about solar powered in Ghana - the tech is getting better and better each year. #radtechcon

The @ebu.ch is letting us play with their EuroVOX system at #radtechcon. Not only is it handy if you find it harder to hear, it also translates to other languages. Our speaker, Monica, is using it to help her understand audience questions asked in English as it’s not her first language. Super cool!

Thank you to all the volunteers I vomited my brain at in a whirlwind this morning. I accidentally had coffee with caffeine 😂

The overlap between #IBC2025 and #RadFest25 delegates is niche and glorious. Hire everyone in it because they can see the future of the industry and translate it for your business today, etc etc.

However, please be gentle with us tomorrow because we are TIRED! 😂
