This event is emphatically NOT a reprise of the old Music Radio Conference which was last held in 2004. The programme has been developed by Trevor Dann, Tony Wadsworth, Jon Webster and Paul Williams to ensure a conversation between radio and music not an argument. None of the sessions will be of interest to just one side. All of them will address areas of interest and concern to both music industry and radio industry delegates.
