Last week we hosted a webinar to showcase the MARCONI project. If you were able to make it, thank you for attending! In case you missed it, you can rewatch the entire webinar on YouTube or in the video down below.
MARCONI Showcase webinar
Are you interested in finding out how radio stations can interact in a better way with their listeners and create more engagement?
Then join the MARCONI Showcase webinar and learn how to do this from experienced radio professionals at public broadcasters VRT and NPO.
The webinar will start at 11:00 am CET on the morning of May 7th. Guided by Sen De Paepe (MNM radio, Belgium), who will be hosting the webinar, you will first explore the challenges faced by radio makers and how these can be tackled. Practical experiences and solutions are shared afterwards, exploring a Messenger application used by NPO and providing learnings from the radio hack week, where an innovative integrated radio platform has been developed at VRT. To better understand the technical background that led to those practical examples, this webinar will give a quick “under the hood” view of the technical platform. To conclude, there will be plenty of time to ask questions to our speakers.
This radio webinar is relevant for broadcaster professionals, such as radio DJs, editorial managers and technical managers, as well as resellers of radio solutions and journalists.
Make sure you register here in time!
When: 7th May, 11:00 CET to 12:30 CET
What: Practical examples of how to better engage radio listeners

MARCONI at Salon de la Radio 2020
For the second year in a row MARCONI was present at Salon de la Radio in Paris (22-24 January). Also known as the European Radio Show for non-French speakers, the event has become a major happening dedicating itself entirely to the radio industry and aiming for both technicians and decision-makers.
Sharing a beautifully designed booth with HRADIO, MARCONI’s main mission was promoting an integrated platform for enhanced interaction between radio makers and listeners.

Radio Hack Week: the results!
During the week of November 4, we organised a radio focused Hack Week at VRT. Working with teams of several VRT departments (Innovation, Radio Technology and Digital Production) and with MARCONI project partner Pluxbox, it was our aim to prototype a proof of concept that combines the rundown, phone & chat application and playout tools in an integrated radio production system.
Insights from the radio chatbot pilot by NPO
In an earlier blog post, we described the pilot with a chatbot on the NPO Radio 5 website. On all programme pages of the website, there was a chat icon available that invited people to ask questions about programmes, events, music, vote on a poll, or just start a chat. In this blog post, you can find an overview on our learnings and insights.
Interactive and personalised radio experiences with HRADIO and MARCONI at IBC
From the 13th till the 17th of September, MARCONI and HRADIO had a joint stand in the Future Zone of IBC. For MARCONI, we showcased our customised software tools to increase and automatise listener interaction. HRADIO then enabled hybrid listening experiences, seamlessly combining linear broadcasts with on-demand content. Together, the projects let IBC visitors experience interactive and personalised radio, at home, on the road, or at the festival, in a stand that was uniquely designed for the experience. We were able to welcome many visitors and radio stations that are interested in joining our open pilots.
