See Ya @ the Conclave!

The always excellent Conclave gets underway this coming week here in Minneapolis. I am looking forward to seeing some friends and making some new ones. Hope to see you here!

This year I will be a faculty member...

Saturday June 28th 3:30P THE FORMATICS TRACK: The P&P Of Today’s Rock Radio. Presented by R&R and BitXChange Prep Service (St. Croix 1, 6th Fl)

No matter which form of rock radio you program, you’ll see and hear tangible examples you can take back to your market and improve the sound of your station. Product and Platforms are the two areas that impact every radio station -no matter the format. Attendees will hear multiple suggestions on finding & developing new talent, as well as retraining talent to work with today’s tools in order to help your PRODUCT stand out. Attendees will also see and hear how to utilize multiple PLATFORMS that can make a radio station more than a transmitter and tower. Facilitator: Mike Boyle, Rock editor-R&R. Faculty: Harve Alan (Harve Alan Consulting), Jeff Murphy (DeMers Consulting) and Steve Young (Jones Radio Networks).

Invited Guest and Volunteer

On Saturday I was an invited guest at The Conclave's board meeting here in Minneapolis. It was a day-long meeting talking about among other things the upcoming summer learning conference. As always, it will be an excellent convention. Take a look at The Conclave website for what's lined up so far for the conference June 26-28.

One of the things that struck me about this organization is just how serious they are about living up to the organizations mission statement.

“Through education, the Conclave’s mission is to improve the quality of broadcasting and related industries so they may better serve the public interest."

Thanks to Tom Kay for the invite.

Just a Little Minneapolis Flavor!
