FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I’ve attended the other radio conferences. Is the content the same?
A: No. We encourage you to continue to support other radio conferences like NAB and RAB, which are important to radio. We believe this event features many of the positive attributes; however, we're adding a layer of depth to the information that we think is necessary to fully understand where radio is going in the near future. In fact, we think if you've attended other events, this event will fill any gaps of information you may have. This conference will emerse you in the converging technologies which impact radio. Industry conferences need to cover a lot of information about a lot of things impacting the radio industry as a whole. This conference is ONLY about the impact of new media technologies, which will change radio listening.
Q: How much does it cost to attend?
A: $495 before February 29th & $795 after the 29th.
Q: Is this the same as the RADIO INK INTERNET CONFERENCE you held during the dotcom era?
A: Yes.... and no. This is the next generation of that conference. At the time most of the discussion was about the internet, which was fairly new to radio. We helped them understand what was coming, what they needed to do with their web sites, etc. This conference is reflective of the changes since that time and the next generation of things radio needs to be thinking about. Its more than the internet... its about things which are converging and gathering audiences... the next generations of the web, digital media, podcasting, mobilecasting, online video, audio, streaming, texting, social networking, HD Radio, and so much more.

Q: I'm Busy. How Much Time Do I Need to Allocate?
A: We know you're busy and we know taking several days away for a conference is difficult. Our conferences are fast-paced, no-fluff and down-to-business. We start the conference late in the afternoon, hold cocktails and continue the conference the following day, ending about three PM. This means you only need to spend one night out and only two days away from the office (or less).

Radio owners, group heads, senior execttives, radio managers, programmers, interactive directors, advertisers, wall and street analysts. Though technology is covered this is NOT an engineering conference. This is a media futures conference for radio.
Q: I'm an Advertiser, should I attend?
Our Internet conference was packed with advertisers who use radio nationally. They attended so they could understand where radio is going. This is especially important to attend if you're a radio advertiser.
