Radiodays Europe General Manager Peter Niegel has told stakeholders that the three day event, which was scheduled to commence in Lisbon, Portugal at the end of this month, will be postponed to a later date this year when, hopefully, the health risks have subsided. 

Radiodays Asia is expected to run as planned later this year, on 2 & 3 September in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Here is the full statement:

Radiodays Europe has for 11 years been the meeting place for the world of radio and audio, for all broadcasters both public and private and for companies from around the world. 

Radiodays Europe Steering Board have decided that due to the increasing health risks in many countries associated with Coronavirus COVID-19, Radiodays Europe is postponed until later in 2020.

This decision comes after extensive consultation to ensure the health and safety of our participants, speakers, commercial partners and staff. As the global Coronavirus crisis escalates and concerns regarding travel, large gatherings etc increase, it makes it impossible for Radiodays Europe to hold an event at this time.

We are aware of the impact of this decision and acknowledge and express our thanks for all the support of our participants and partners throughout the years that have made Radiodays Europe the meeting place for the world of radio and audio and the largest event of its kind in Europe. 

Further details on the new dates for Radiodays Europe will be released at a later date on the Radiodays Europe website – www.radiodayseurope.com
