We are pleased to announce that, Willie O'Reilly, CDir, Chairman of iRadio and a Board Director of The Irish Cancer Society, will address 'Irish Media: We’re not in Kansas anymore'. 

The only constant is change and digitisation has accelerated change across the Irish media industry. We live in an age where the rise of digital giants pose existential threat to our local services. Is it all to our benefit or are there dark clouds ahead? What should we prize and have we any power to preserve it? Join the conversation.
