Digital radio in cars is the future - at Geneva International Motor Show 2016 several major automotive brands will showcase new models with digital radio as standard.

  • Why is digital radio the future?
  • What content can drivers expect to see and hear on digital radio? 
  • How will hybrid radio change the user interface in car and will this lead to driver distraction?
  • How does radio sit in the connected car and how can drivers benefit from a connected radio experience? 
  • What support are dealerships being offered in markets where digital radio is rolling out?

This WorldDAB session will address all these issues.  Speakers include leading experts from the automotive and broadcast digital radio industries. The afternoon will be made up of four individual modules - broadcasters and automotive, connected, dealerships, safety - participants are welcome to attend all or part of the session.

To join this free session you must have a valid entry ticket to Geneva International Motor Show 2016. Visit the Geneva International Motor Show 2016 website.
