Radio Ink is pleased to announce that Bob Liodice, CEO of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), will co-chair Forecast 2020 with Mary Berner, President/CEO of Cumulus Media. 

Forecast is radio’s annual business and financial summit that brings together industry leaders, investors, visionaries, and prognosticators for a day of information, ideas, and discussions centered around the future of the radio industry, its multi-faceted platforms, and the continually changing landscape in which it competes. Recognized for its executive-focused agenda, Forecast is held annually at the Harvard Club in New York City. This year’s event will be presented on November 20, 2019, concluding with the networking event of the year, the annual “Top 40” cocktail reception, honoring Radio Ink’s 40 Most Powerful People in Radio.

In making the announcement, Deborah Parenti, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Radio Ink, said, “We are extremely excited  to have Bob Liodice join Mary Berner in co-chairing this year’s Forecast. The opportunity to have input from the national advertisers’ perspective in planning the Forecast agenda is something that everyone with a vested interest in radio should find of great interest and even greater benefit. Along with Mary Berner, who has graciously committed her time and efforts in delivering a compelling program, this promises to be a terrific and thought-provoking event.”

Liodice said, “I’m looking forward to being the Co-Chair at Radio Ink’s Forecast 2020 with Cumulus Media CEO Mary Berner. We’re going to explore the key business, creative, technology, and measurement issues brands and the radio industry need to focus on and discuss how to meet the challenges of today’s marketplace.”
