Monday 31st October | Compass Room, The Lowry, Salford Quays

We return to the Compass Room at The Lowry for TechCon 2011 and a programme jam-packed with informative sessions which will stimulate programmers and engineers alike.

Highlights confirmed so far include a look into the latest developments in digital radio, whether by DAB, DRM or online; investigating the challenges of communicating with our audiences in the age of social media; as well as hearing industry updates from Ofcom on preparing for the Olympics and their ongoing battle with illegal broadcasters and BFBS on broadcasting in war-zones and trouble-spots. There’s plenty more still in the pipeline so keep checking back or follow us on Twitter @techcon11 for updates.

On the lighter side we’ll be bringing you the finalists of the TechCon Technical Innovation Award (click here for more information). And there’ll also be a chance to ‘fess up to your worst technical blunders in our own TechConfessions slot (click here for more information).
