The Center for Investigative Reporting, one of the oldest nonprofit investigative newsrooms in the country, and PRX, the leader in audio innovation, will direct a conference workshop with CIR staff and others to guide stations through sustainability, capacity building, editing, impact measurement, engagement and production of investigative news.
MusicMaster is presenting Genius Day on September 28th 2015! The session will be held from noon to 5pm an the William Penn Omni Hotel, in the Three Rivers room.
Continuous and accelerating waves of change call for critical mass conversations so more than 50% of this year’s conference will be General Sessions.
Here’s a run-down of our confirmed General Sessions and the Breakouts you can expect to find as you make you plans to join us in Pittsburgh for PRPD15 – The Content Conference!
Remember this is NOT a complete list but a preview and as you’ll see this is a MUST attend conference – no ifs, ands or buts about it!
For the first time ever, three of our industry’s most influential and incisive researchers and analysts will share a stage and take your questions. Edison’s Larry Rosen, RRC’s Dave Sullivan, Fred Jacobs of Jacobs Media will slice through Voltair, mobile, podcasting and other audio hot-button topics, public radio-specific audience trends, and we’ll get the latest from the Public Radio Tech Survey.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Kerri Hoffman to the Board of Directors. Hoffman is the COO of PRX, the Public Radio Exchange.
Hoffman is an experienced management leader with a broad range of expertise in organizational development, financial planning and strategic planning. Hoffman has played a key role in PRX’s evolution as it expanded its scope as public radio’s first and only functional marketplace for independent producers. In recent years, Hoffman and the PRX team have made strategic forays into near adjacencies of content production and distribution.
The PD Workshop agenda is packed with information to help you develop the skills necessary to be a successful, productive program director.
If ever there was a year to make it to PRPD...
Clearly, plenty to talk about... and some brilliant people to inspire you.
