The development of digital radio is different in each market in Europe, even though the cars being driven across Europe are not. One of the key areas that will be discussed at the conference will be the collaboration of the automotive industry with broadcasters.
There are differences in digital radio development across European countries, despite there being no differences in the cars being driven.
Each country that is rolling out DAB+ has a national organisation that provides information to the car manufacturers, however, the automotive industry want only one point of contact.
This conference will address the latter and also answer questions around where connected listening is taking place and what that means for the driver.
The driver wants radio to be a seamless experience that offers content, relevant information and as little distraction as possible.
Car manufacturers want a radio performance that exceeds FM but also need information on the screens for the driver. The conference will also look at how broadcasters and car manufactures are working together to achieve these goals.
