	Description:		Billed as a speed dating event for radio, delegates from all over the UK were given 15 minutes to meet with industry experts such as Mike Walsh from Xfm, Paul Blakeley from 5live and Ric Blaxill from Bauer Media Group. Sessions included ‘Freelancing in radio’, ‘How do I get on air?’ and ‘Station branding’. We spoke to a few of the delegates, including students looking for advice on what their next steps should be, and also delegates working on hospital and student radio looking for practical advice for their shows. We also spoke to some of the industry insiders including Capital FM producer Greg Hughes and Jazz FM’s Chris Gilvear, one of the Radio Academy’s 30 under 30, to hear what they thought of the day and what advice they gave to the young radio enthusiasts.
