The IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (BTS) has named Tom Gallagher as the latest keynote speaker for the 2016 IEEE Broadcast Symposium.

Mr Gallagher is CEO of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). He will address current events in the world of amateur radio during the Symposium boxed lunch on Wednesday 12 October, at noon.

He said: "The IEEE Broadcast Symposium is one of the broadcasting world's preeminent technical conferences, and I'm looking forward to addressing such a prestigious group of industry professionals. In this presentation, we'll explore the ARRL's contributions to standards and the close relationship we've enjoyed with the broadcasting industry throughout our century of existence."

"Tom brings a fascinating and diverse background to his role as our keynote speaker, and his personal passion for education – especially for youth – always comes through," commented William T. Hayes, president of IEEE BTS and director of engineering and technology for Iowa Public Television. "Besides his involvement in teaching and standardized testing, Tom supports charter schools and, through ARRL, ham radio education programs in inner city schools. I, for one, am really looking forward to hearing his presentation on Oct. 12."

The 2016 IEEE Broadcast Symposium takes place from 12 to 14 October.

Online registration, as well as the technical programme for the event, can be found here.
