Mon Mar 13 11:16:36 GMT 2017

Morning Ian

Yes, we have over 50 attendees registered and there are 12 days to go
before the event. And an additional 5 people have indicated their interest
only this morning.

Booking is below:

https://ssdab-community-radio-past-present-future.eventbrite.co.uk/

The programme:

   - The story so far - hear from participants in Ofcom’s technical trial
   - What’s happening now with the legislation and the upcoming consultation
   - Where we go from here - funding SSDAB, innovative business models,
   broadcast content, how to make SSDAB work for community radio
   - Networking with industry professionals

Hear from practitioners and influencers in small-scale DAB and air your
views, share your thoughts, explore the issues and ask questions. Speakers
include:

   - Steve Buckley, SheffieldLive (innovative business models and multiplex
   funding)
   - David Duffy, Niocast (a commercial perspective)
   - Ash Elford, Angel Radio Ltd (pushing the technology)
   - Lawrie Hallett, Future Digital Norfolk (a community radio perspective)
   - Daniel Nathan, Juice 102.2, Brighton (the first licensed
   mini-multiplex)
   - Ian O’Neill OBE Head of Radio; Head of Television, DCMS (SSDAB
   legislation)

We were expecting about 60 for this event so we are on course for an
amazing event. It is likely that the event will have 70 bookings by the end
of next week.

Many thanks

Bill
