IARU Conference “Working for the Future of Amateur Radio” started

We are facing unprecedented challenges today. The world around us is changing fast, and many of these changes directly affect amateur radio and our community. By working together in this workshop event, we can help shape our future and invest in areas which will ensure that amateur radio remains an attractive and appealing activity for future generations.

some key statements:

The “amateur radio” that we often talk about today is quite often the “amateur radio” of the past.  (1:22)

In short, I think we need a relevant product to offer to today’s generation. (1:54)

There is a real risk that we are walking towards extinction as the pressures on the spectrum increase. (3:20).

Member societies will need to take a hard look at their leadership teams, and decide whether that team has the committment, energy and determination to carry their society forward. (6:06)

Change is always difficult. Leadership is particularly challenging when there is transformational change to achieve. (8:58)
