At Convergence he'll reveal a plan to take radio to the next level through integrated media, and a big opportunity he sees because of "the coming crash of bandwidth," which he believes will benefit radio, "if they are properly prepared."

Join us at Radio Ink's Convergence for two days of exciting, visionary thinkers who will share their perspectives on how radio can embrace and command digital dollars.
