Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) all set to be a part of this year's International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam from September 15 to 19. 

IBC is the leading global tradeshow for broadcasters and media professionals and attracts over 150,000 visitors every year from over 160 countries worldwide.

A full chain of events is being planned under the “DRM Delivers” theme. The series will be kicked off with an exciting event hosted by a DRM receiver manufacturer – Gospell – ready to present its new DRM and multi-standard commercial receivers.

At all DRM events participants will be updated on market developments in Asia, Africa (with emphasis on Southern Africa), Europe and other parts of the world and attend demonstrations of all the latest DRM broadcast equipment and receivers.

All those interested are invited to meet DRM experts, broadcasters and manufacturers and network at: Gospell on Friday September 15, Thomson Broadcast and Nautel on Saturday. And on Sunday September 17 Ampegon is inviting all those interested to a special event where the winners of the DRM Enterprise Award (Africa) 2017 will be announced.

Ruxandra Obreja, the Consortium Chairman, says: “The Consortium members are very excited to see new DRM receivers, with full functionality and ingenious solutions. DRM also honours its full pledge to digital radio by promoting multi-standard receivers. After attending our DRM events participants will see that a total DRM broadcast solution can be confidently used to offer full and comprehensive country coverage and enhanced services to all listeners. DRM delivers a digital future for all broadcasters large or small, offering more programme choice to listeners, extra multimedia services with text and images, increased energy savings and spectrum efficiency, excellent audio and a digital future to radio.”
