The International Radio Festival (IRF) was founded in 2010 to celebrate and showcase the world’s most consumed and most influential medium, Music Radio.
The IRF represents the world’s first business to business conference and public festival event format. The Festival offers music industry professionals and consumer brands with a vested interest in the world’s most consumed and influential medium, a unique platform to break new artists, sell music, ride with consumer habits, and exchange formats, whilst engaging with both a qualitative music business audience, as well as a quantitative consumer audience amounting to a reach of billions of listeners worldwide
Since its inaugural year, the IRF has already succeeded in bringing together close to 100 ground-breaking music radio shows from around the world, offering their makers the exceptional opportunity to showcase their best music radio programmes in the presence of their peers and industry professionals, as well as “live On-Air” to the general public at large and to their listeners back home, offering all the equal chance to “Listen to how the world sounds”.
The IRF is a must attend for all Music Radio Professionals, Radio Jockeys and DJ’s alike, Record Labels, Music Managers & Agents, Lifestyle Brands, Marketing & Advertising Agencies, Media Professionals and Educational Establishments, with a vested interest in the world’s most consumed medium, music radio.
Those who attend the Festival benefit from the rare chance to meet with like-minded music radio-makers/creators and music industry professionals to network, knowledge-share and exchange music radio formats.
“Our staff is encouraged to listen to radio stations across the U.S. for creative inspiration. However, an opportunity to not only listen to, but interact with people from radio stations at the international level, is absolutely tremendous. The IRF makes this uniquely possible”. Travis Loughran, KYLD-FM APD/Managing Director, Wild FM, San Francisco, USA
And the Festival’s exclusive B2B Forum is rapidly establishing itself as the think-tank and exchange hub for both the players in music radio as well as all music related industries. Attendees gain the opportunity to develop closer business and cultural relationships within this specialised industry.
