A round up of TechCon at the Radio Festival

Posted on Monday, June 30th, 2008 at 4:37pm. #

So, I’ve spent a fascinating day at TechCon, which is the technical beginning of The Radio Festival in Glasgow.

Some really great stuff; the highlight of the day for me, excepting Olinda, was the Student Radio Association who did two engaging talks about what they do, and loads of information about BFBS which is a bit of a hidden gem of a broadcaster - I’d no idea how large their operation was.

Anyway, I had to stand at the end and give a “highlights” presentation - really, a “what you missed” if you turned up late.

Given that, it’ll make quite a nice blog posting - so I’ve edited the slightly libellous jokes out, and published it below as a PDF. And I’m currently sitting in the Radio Academy Press Centre with the proper journalists from Radio Today uploading it now.

Incidentally, this was the first full presentation I’ve done using Google Presentations. It’s surprisingly good.

I shall probably get the powerpoints tidied up and online at some point for anyone who’s wondering what we talked about!

The excellent summary made the day for me!
