Forecast 2012 keynote, Dial Global-syndicated radio host, and best-selling author Michael Smerconish says he's "looking forward to participating at Forecast," where he'll be conducting a live interview with a high-profile, controversial special guest newsmaker. Forecast is set for December 6 at the Harvard Club in New York. Smerconish says "Given this individual's past battles with Wall Street, I can't wait to ask him about Occupy Wall Street, among other pressing matters."
Radio Ink VP/General Manager Deborah Parenti believes this presentation will be compelling, but may stir some strong reaction. "The interview format he has chosen for the opening keynote is one in which he is exceptionally gifted, and, as with his radio show, Michael has not shied from injecting some controversy into his interview choice," Parenti says. "This could be one of the most provocative presentations ever at Forecast."
The award-winning Smerconish's impressive resume speaks for itself: He was the first radio host to interview President Obama from the White House, was named Local Personality of the Year by R&R, and made Philadelphia magazine's list of the most powerful citizens. His best-selling books have advanced meaningful discussion in our post-9/11 world, and his contributions to MSNBC and many respected periodicals have brought his message to readers and viewers across the country.
Forecast is Radio Ink's eagerly anticipated annual radio industry financial conference -- the only one of its kind. Radio owners, CEOs, CFOs, group executives, managers and Wall Street analysts gather to discuss the state of the radio industry and predictions for the coming year. Participants hear about current and upcoming trends and opportunities, and meet the trendsetters of tomorrow. There are only 200 seats available, so early registration is encouraged.
Each year after the conference, Radio Ink invites the 40 Most Powerful People in Radio to pick up their plaques and join us for cocktails in their honor. The 2011 40 Most Powerful featured more new faces than any time in the list's history, and Forecast attendees will get the exclusive opportunity to mingle with both new entrants and the perennials in New York's elegant Harvard Club. Only registered conference attendees are guaranteed invitations to the after-party. Attendance is limited to 200.
