The Lokalmedientage 2026 will take place on June 24-25, 2026, and is the evolution of the Lokalrundfunktagen, which have been the primary networking platform for media professionals from radio and television for over 30 years. The event is organized by Medien.Bayern GmbH with the support of the Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien. The conference is a response to the transformation in the radio and TV landscape, which has moved beyond the classical "on air" signal. The Lokalmedientage will focus on the future of local media, which are no longer just local radio stations, but content houses that offer a range of formats, including podcasts, social video, and digital feeds. The event will showcase the path to new business models and explore new perspectives. The target audience includes professionals from radio and television, as well as local journalists from the DACH region. The conference will feature a program that includes presentations, panels, and discussions on topics such as local content creation, cross-media storytelling, and innovative business models. The event will also feature a exhibition area where partners and exhibitors will showcase their products and services. The Lokalmedientage 2026 will be a meeting point for all those who create local content, from radio and TV professionals to local journalists. The conference will provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and inspiration. The event will also feature the presentation of the BLM-Medienspreis 2026, which will be awarded to outstanding contributions to local media. The conference will take place in a format that allows for interaction and exchange between participants.
