SwissRadioDay

What SwissRadioDay does

SwissRadioDay is an annual industry conference for the Swiss radio sector, organized since 1999 by RadioEvents GmbH, a joint venture of SRG SSR (the national public broadcaster), VSP (Verband Schweizer Privatradios), and RRR (Romandie Radio Romand). The event takes place each year at Kaufleuten in Zürich, with the SRD26 edition scheduled for August 27, 2026, and combines an on-location program with an online ON-AIR streaming option. It serves radio decision-makers, content producers, and industry stakeholders across all Swiss language regions (German, French, Italian, Romansh), and is positioned as the only Swiss event dedicated entirely to the radio medium.

The business operates a multi-revenue event model built around three streams: attendee registration fees (processed via the ONIVA events platform), a tiered sponsorship structure anchored by Presenting Partner Swisscom Broadcast and extending through Patronat, Exhibitor, Supporting, and Media Partner tiers, and the SRD Magazine (digital and print), which features partner profiles and program content and maintains an archive dating to 2014. Technology stack is light: a Wix-based marketing website, ONIVA for registration, and outsourced creative/communications via DnS Creative. The organization has 11–50 employees, is headquartered in Bern, and shows no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

Commercial reach is domestic-Switzerland with limited international touchpoints (participation at RadioDayEurope, Paris Radio Show, Medientage, Lokalrundfunktage). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no app or API exists, and there are no indications of AI/ML capability development. The product surface is effectively a single annual event plus its companion magazine — there is no adjacent SaaS, subscription, or recurring product layer beyond the yearly cycle.
