The International Radio Festival (IRF) was founded in 2010 to showcase and debate the curation and business of music radio content, and the world’s most consumed and most influential medium: Music Radio. Since its inaugural year, the Festival brought together close to 300 ground-breaking radio stations from around the world. The IRF offers participants an exceptional opportunity to meet with like-minded radio-makers and industry professional to knowledge-share and exchange music radio formats. Radio stations receive the exclusive chance to showcase their best music radio programmes, both in the presence of their peers and industry professionals, as well as “live” on-air with the general public around the globe. The Festival’s exclusive B2B Forum represents the think-tank and exchange hub for both the players in music radio as well as all music related industries. Participants gain the opportunity to develop closer business and cultural relationships within this specialised industry. Music radio remains the universally single largest “distributor” and communicator of music, and music related lifestyles, today. The Festival’s format is already playing a pro-active part in communicating and supporting the growing renaissance of music radio across the world today. www.internationalradiofestival.com
