The Last Conclave’s schedule adds a Ken Levine keynote and fills in new session details on talent development, syndication, and social media ahead of the September 15-17 farewell event in Minnesota. The full schedule and details are available via the Last Conclave site.
Levine, an Emmy-winning writer, play-by-play announcer, and producer, whose credits include M*A*S*H, Cheers, and Frasier, will share stories from a career spanning radio, television, sports, and comedy.
“Ask Me Almost Anything” opens Wednesday’s programming with Bob Leighton, Dennis Corbett, Dan Cash, Dave Ryan, Joe Knapp and Harv Blain. Valerie Geller and Brian Wright lead “The Future of Talent,” on discovering and retaining personalities. Fred and Paul Jacobs distill five decades of research into “10 Things We Learned Over 50 Years of Radio.” Jodi Koontz, Baby Haze and Jenny Luttenberger cover social media strategy, and Mason, Tony Lorino, T.J., John Garabedian and Robby Bridges examine syndicated programming.
Other sessions confirm details Radio Ink reported in August.
Sean Ross will moderate “The Future of Programming” with Joel Denver, Greg Strassell and Jeff McCarthy, joined by a newly added panelist, Chad Taylor. Kelly “K3” Doherty’s previously reported Twin Cities Radio session is titled “How KDWB Made Legends: Then, Now, and Next!” and adds Rich Davis, Angi Taylor, Scotty Davis, Falen and JJ Kincaid to the lineup.
Paige Nienaber’s “Top 25 Radio Promotions of All Time” remains unchanged from the earlier preview.
