IRF Wrap-Up

	The Forum...	Our 4th India Radio Forum is behind us and feedback has been incredibly positive. Forum participants had Mark Story, of RadioStory giving invaluable tips on bringing the best out of your radio brands. We also had the pleasure of Diarmid Moncrieff illustrating the power or sound. Mike Reiss, writer of The Simpsons, was with us sharing tips on what inspires him. The CEO panel discussion led by our moderator Atul Phadnis gave us brilliant insights on the current radio scene in India and its direction for the next one year. Our time ended with the Excellence in Radio Awards Ceremony, where we handed out gold trophies to 28 different categories. Congratulations again to all our winners!

	The Awards...	As radio continues to grow positively, the Awards categories have also expanded to keep up with changes. This year, we’ve introduced Gujarati on the programming and talent categories and also created an Advertising category for Media, Advertising and Advertisers.
