Though Steve Jobs is known for his innovations with the Macintosh computer, iTunes, the iPhone, and the iPad, many experts say the most important thing Jobs introduced to the world was the app. What about the radio app? Is your future an aggregator like TuneIn or iHeartRadio? Or does your station need an individual listening app? What about revenue opportunities and interactivity with your listeners, now that an app is as important as your website? What about apps for your sales organization and advertisers? What is the ultimate app design for radio listening and revenue generation?
We answer your app questions June 4tha nd 5th at Radio Ink's Convergence 12 at the beautiful Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley. Scott Wallace of YouPlus Media leads a panel of experts talking about when (and whether) to create an app, how they work and why, and your brand's best approach to getting onto smartphones and tablets. Wallace says, "Apps, apps, apps! As apps take over the world, what are the important things to know, and how do they affect your strategy going forward?We'll provide clear-cut ideas and discuss the tough issues, how to monetize, and now to work effectively with developers."
Don't miss the stellar lineup of keynoters at this year's Convergence: Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari Corp. and the Chuck E. Cheese pizza chain, and one of the world's most innovative tech thinkers. Rob Glaser, founder and chairman of RealNetworks, who's been it streaming tech since its earliest days.
