The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) consortium says next month’s ABU symposium in Kuala Lumpur will be a “key event in Asia”.

“It is one of the premier digital events in Asia,” says a consortium spokesperson. “The ABU is a major promoter of the connected world and, with significant DRM developments underway in Asia; The Digital Broadcasting Symposium (DBS) is a key event for the DRM Consortium.”

The group will run a workshop on March 6 entitled “DRM – Unique benefits for your needs”.

Several DRM experts from members organisations such as Ampegon, BBC, Digidia, Fraunhofer IIS and Nautel will update participants on the latest technical and marketing developments.

Later in the month, the consortium will hold its general assembly at the BBC Headquarters in London which the consortium says will be “the most inclusive event in its history (and) a moment to consider the benefits of DRM and its progress.
