Farid Suleman To Co-Chair Radio Ink's Forecast 2011
Radio Ink is pleased to announce that Citadel CEO Farid Suleman will co-chair Forecast 2011, set for December 7, 2010 at the Harvard Club in New York.
Suleman has headed Citadel since 2002, when he arrived from the President/CEO post at Infinity Broadcasting. He's a respected industry vet with a background in both the financial and operational sides of the business, and Forecast will benefit from his valuable insights into what top executives most need to know and understand in these complex times.
"This concept of co-chairs for our conference assures that our agenda is fresh each year and influenced by those who have significant operational responsibilities within our industry, enabling us to reflect the state of radio and its issues," Radio Ink Publisher Eric Rhoads said. "Though Farid and I don't always see eye-to-eye in our philosophies on how to run a radio company, one cannot deny his impact on industry trends, which is why we're thrilled to have him as a co-chair for Forecast 2011. His acceptance of this appointment shows his willingness to work with those of differing opinions and to keep an open dialogue, which is important not only to Forecast, but the industry overall."
Radio is looking at a financial recovery, but progress is still slow and the future is uncertain. With Suleman's contributions, Forecast adds the perspective of an industry leader who's brought his company through tough times to a bright and revitalized future.
"We are extremely pleased that Farid Suleman has agreed to serve as co-chair of Forecast, along with Marci Ryvicker," Radio Ink VP/GM Deborah Parenti said. "Farid heads one of the largest radio companies in the country and brings a unique, firsthand perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the industry today. He and Marci are planning some provocative, timely panels that I think everyone will want to hear."
Suleman will co-chair Forecast with respected Wells Fargo Securities analyst Marci Ryvicker.
