What does radio need to do right now to best position itself for 2030? The closing session at the Hispanic Radio Conference isn’t framing that as a hypothetical. The urgency is real, and the answers will require innovation and collaboration in equal measure.
“The Road Ahead” brings together syndicated star Dana Cortez, Spanish Broadcasting System KRZZ and KLAX Program Director Elena Jovel, and MediaCo New York, Denver, and Chicago VP/GM Maire Mason to cover raising the next generation of multi-platform audio, revenue models, data, AI, and talent, all without losing the cultural authenticity that defines the format.
Futuri President of Enterprise Partnerships Erin Callaghan will moderate. “Technology and AI are moving so quickly, and it’s important to understand how that’s shaping our future. At the same time, we must embrace our unique qualities that differentiate our brands and personalities — the very human elements that AI can’t replicate or replace.”
