Radio Futurecast: Broadcast, Satellite, Digital, Mobile, Streaming, Podcasting, Social Media & The Dash

Getting A Handle On The Audience

WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMMIT 2017, MAY 3, 4, 5, at the W HOTEL, HOLLYWOOD gives you more reasons to invest in your career. If you could look into the future what would you see?  You'd see even more things than ever to distract your audience and take you off focus.

Fact: You can't be everywhere and be equally excellent on every digital and social platform.

There's a "hierarchy of attention" each brand needs to build; how much time to commit to each platform in order to be effective, and which ones we just have to walk away from.

Join us on FRIDAY, MAY 5th at 9:15a for RADIO FUTURECAST – "Broadcast, Satellite, Digital, Mobile, Streaming, Podcasting, Social Media & The Dash"

This panel of pros will help you identify where to place our limited resources (time, people and money), and create measurable impact on ratings and revenue.

MODERATED BY:
LORI LEWIS – VP/Social, CUMULUS/WESTWOOD ONE

PANELISTS: 
DANIEL ANSTANDIG – CEO FUTURI MEDIA  
JAMES CRIDLAND – RADIO FUTUROLOGIST  
KEVIN LEGRETT – President, L.A. Region & SW Division, iHEARTMEDIA
