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.

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...

• Podcasting trend stories outnumber follow up on the stories our journalists have broken.
• What have we learned, and what comes after, the Spark project?
• And, collectively, we’ve trained and cultivated an audience who freaks out when Kim Kardashian appears on Wait, Wait.

Clearly, plenty to talk about... and some brilliant people to inspire you.

Finding America is AIR’s next Localore project and this demands your careful attention. The Station Runway has launched, which means this is your chance to make a compelling case for why local folks should come and partner with your station.
