Three more #radtechcon sessions announced!

1) LBC's Millbank 2.0

When Global decided to give LBC a new home at 4 Millbank, the brief was simple: build something four times bigger, twice as clever, and ideally without anyone moaning about the chairs.

Wideshot of Vanessa and Mark on the Radio TechCon stage, looking over the heads of the audience to the stage. The main screen has text on a blue background (too small to see) and the side screens have the Radio TechCon 'second screen' definitions on a black background (also too small to read).
