 A Message from the RadioTech Summit Moderator:

Colleagues,

It shouldn’t be news to you that radio technology is changing fast. More importantly, the consumer media context in which radio exists is changing even faster. Radio technologists today are challenged to stay on top of maintenance and improvements to existing facility investments, and meanwhile devise strategies for leveraging new delivery platforms and infrastructures. Even the smartest among us needs help on this, but where and how to get it?

That’s the fundamental premise of Radio Ink's RadioTech Summit -- to bring together today’s best and brightest for a dialogue on the keys to radio's future. Engineers, IT professionals, managers, station owners, and vendors can all participate and benefit from this conversation, which will focus on radio technology's next steps toward capturing and monetizing tomorrow's audiences.

It's not for the faint of heart. These are challenging discussions, in which we expect everyone present to both partake and contribute. The RadioTech Summit is not just another radio technology conference, and it may occasionally take you out of your comfort zone. You will meet people and learn about things that you have never before encountered, in a fresh format, and at an exciting venue. You will come away enriched and enlightened.

The agenda will be packed, so get ready to soak it all in. Come prepared to share your ideas and experiences, as well, and with an open mind to the thinking of others.

The RadioTech Summit 2011 is where we will next convene for this critical discourse. I hope you can also stay for Radio Ink's ConVergence conference, which follows immediately thereafter. I look forward to seeing you at one or both events.
