Registrations are rolling in! WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMIT 2016 is set to roll -- APRIL 13th, 14th, 15th -- at the HOTEL ROOSEVELT in HOLLYWOOD -- presented by ALL ACCESS and A&R WORLDWIDE -- and we've got a cutting edge Keynote session, THURSDAY, 9a on APRIL 14:
"Agents Of Change -- The Future Of The Global Radio Community"
WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMIT 2016 will bring you some of the world's foremost radio and technology leaders and who continue to invest in the medium and they will share why they are bullish on the future of Radio and how you can continue to evolve your careers to be part of the change.
Despite what the naysayers say, radio, in all of its forms – broadcast, Internet, mobile, satellite -- is stronger than ever! The numbers don't lie. Radio no longer does business today the way it did even last year! Creativity and technology drive the future.
This important Keynote discussion will be lead by one of the world's greatest radio and TV interviewers, LARRY KING! And LARRY will ask the tough questions.
Here is who is confirmed to join LARRY so far:
EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS Chairman & CEO JEFF SMULYAN ... JEFF and his team -- including NEXTRADIO Pres. PAUL BRENNER -- have single-handedly developed the NEXTRADIO app -- and they have VERIZON on the hit list to activate NEXTRADIO! It's already available on select smartphones from AT&T, VIRGIN MOBILE, BOOST and SPRINT ... and the ultimate target looms ahead ... the iPHONE!
GINNY MORRIS, Chairman & CEO, HUBBARD BROADCASTING ... who in the past year has guided her company's expansion into a 30% stake in PODCASTONE, formed the new 2060 DIGITAL division, and has seen ratings and revenue growth in the company's recent station acquisitions. She will have plenty to say about her optimism about radio and the future ...
BBC RADIO 1 & 1XTRA Head Of Music Programming GEORGE ERGATOUDIS oversees music programming for the most listened to radio station in the world, BBC's RADIO 1, and has been a visionary catalyst in the BBC's streaming and digital initiatives. GEORGE's thoughts give WWRS 2016's Keynote session a unique global perspective.
... and more great names to be announced for the Keynote, soon -- as well as details about additional WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMIT 2016 sessions.
