Thailand hosts Radio Asia 2017

BANGKOK, April 27 (TNA) -- Thailand hosts Radio Asia 2017, which has the theme of, "Creating Radio with Passion: Looking into the World of Radio", where radio personnel from around the globe have attend to exchange their experiences and ideas. Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office Ormsin Chivapruck presided over the opening ceremony of the Radio Asia 2017 Conference at the Swissotel Le Concorde Bangkok yesterday, which is scheduled to be held between April 26-28. The minister said Thailand has been honoured with the position as the host of the conference this year, in which the Foreign Office of the Government Public Relations Department (PRD) and the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) have co-organised. This conference, the minister said, is an annually event for radio broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific region, aimed to create a stage for radio personnel worldwide to exchange knowledge, experiences, and technology on radio and related media broadcasting to attract more listeners, as the industry is said to be on the downturn at present. The event would also help create a cooperation network internationally which would help to create activeness among the communication circle and the media, which in turn would help improve skills and experiences for the media people. Around 300 participants from national private and public organisations, along with 100 representatives from around attended the event. The conference would include workshops and various conferences by leading radio experts from Asia-Pacific and Europe under various interesting topics, such as skills for good advertisement scripts to increase commercial revenues for radio, creating a connection with listeners.
