PRESS STATEMENT
Radiodays Europe Lisbon 2020
Moved to 2021 due to ongoing Covid 19 concerns
Friday 11 September 2020: Radiodays Europe has announced today that due to the on- going COVID 19 crisis that Radiodays Europe has been moved to 2021 on the following dates: 2-4 May 2021.
The venue and city for the event remain CCL, Lisbon, Portugal and we thank our hosts for their support and we all look forward to welcoming you to Portugal in 2021.
Peter Niegel, General Manager, Radiodays Europe said “At a Steering Board meeting today it was agreed that due to the on going worldwide COVID 19 crisis the Radiodays Europe event will be moved to 2-4 May 2021. This decision was taken after watching developments worldwide closely and in consultation with partners and supporters of the event. And, while there seems to be a continued change in the situation across the world it is still not ‘safe’ to hold such a large event in December.
It has been a very difficult decision to make as back in March when we postponed the event for the first time we were anticipating it would be possible to hold an in person event in December. However, what we are continuing to see is that the situation country by country and within the radio and podcast communities is that quarantines, restrictions on travel and the continued spread of the virus mean an event in December is not in the interests of our participants, speakers, partners and hosts.
We ask all of you who have purchased a ticket for their continued support, while we cannot refund tickets due to our refund policy however we can change the name on your ticket if you cannot make the new dates, you can do this at rde@meetx.se. All 2020 purchased tickets are valid for 2021.”
Radiodays Europe announced that although the in person meeting in December will be postponed until 2021 Radiodays Europe will run a virtual “Christmas Lunch” on Monday 14th December 2020, this is in addition to not in place of the main event. All registered participants are welcome to attend this event which will bring the international radio community together online for a round up of 2020 and a look into 2021. Further details of this online event will be sent out in the Radiodays Europe newsletter and details will also be available at www.radiodayseurope.com
Please note Radiodays Europe has not cancelled the Radiodays Europe event we have moved to a new date, your 2020 ticket is valid for 2021, it will be possible to join In-person, Online and On-Demand. Once again thank you to all those who continue to support us through this difficult time.
