Radiocentre is heading for the St David’s hotel in Cardiff on Tuesday January 16 for its latest Tuning In conference. Joining a host of industry experts at the free morning event for Wales and the South West is opera singer, radio personality and Go Compare icon Wynne Evans.

Joining Wynne Evans at the morning event is Radioplayer MD Michael Hill who, along with Radiocentre’s Planning Director Mark Barber, will present their latest research into voice activated devices and how they will influence the future of commercial radio.
