The Radio And Digital Sound Broadcasting Summit – Africa 2025 (6th Edition) is set to take place from 24 – 25 June 2025 in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together key industry stakeholders, broadcasters, content creators, and technology providers to explore the dynamic relationship between evolving technologies and the delivery of impactful, high-quality content in the digital sound broadcasting landscape.
As radio and digital sound broadcasting continue to evolve, the industry is experiencing a transformation driven by cutting-edge technologies such as AI-driven content curation, cloud-based automation, 5G streaming, and personalised audio experiences.

According to organisers, the summit will provide a platform to discuss the latest advancements in digital sound broadcasting and examine how next-generation technologies are shaping the future of radio and digital audio platforms. While the rapid adoption of new technologies offers numerous benefits, it raises important questions about content quality, authenticity, and ethical broadcasting.
