about the australian broadcasting summit


The broadcasting industry is facing radical change. Digital adoption is accelerating, and the challenges of audience fragmentation, a tighter advertising climate and increased competition from new media are all contributing to a new broadcasting environment.

Whilst there are many challenges, there are also opportunities. Innovative content, on-demand technology, connected TV, mobile TV, IPTV, game-based integration and new media platforms offer broadcasters the chance to continue the drive of the digital revolution and ensure a strong, secure future for the industry.
This summit is considered the annual meeting place for key influencers in Australia’s broadcasting industry and features a two day conference on television broadcasting media, and a one day conference on radio. The Australian Broadcasting Summit 2012 will offer senior stakeholders a platform to discuss these pressing issues and explore strategies for successfully developing this key industry.
