The Big Digital Meet-Up

The Big Digital Meet-Up is a festival of ideas offering an inclusive experience to celebrate EBU’s digital communities in one place.  

We’re thrilled to bring you a brand-new edition of the Big Digital Meet-Up hosted by ORF in Vienna on 1-2 October 2025.

The Big Digital Meet-up is the meeting point where we bring all digital communities and friends of the EBU under one roof.

PSM wants to connect with all audiences—now and in the future. But some remain hard to reach: Unserved, underserved, at risk, or underrepresented. The digital and platform world offers new opportunities but also brings challenges in content & distribution, like fragmentation & findability of content. 

At BDMU 2025, we will explore how to connect with future audiences and bring back hard-to-reach audiences in the digital and platform world. CONNECTED with the future will talk about how PSM connect with audiences & platforms, now and in the future.

Don’t miss this chance to meet and interact with your peers and learn from digital experts from the PSM World to stay ahead of the curve with exclusive insights into the latest trends and ideas shaping the digital media landscape. Register now!
