Research is the key to understanding your audience, and that's going to be even more true as new audiotainment systems roll out, loaded up with new competitors, but also new opportunities. Consumers are adopting, and seem to be loving, the new in-car audiotainment systems -- touchscreens, voice commands, Internet radio, apps, and all. But what is the consumer experience really like? What are your listeners finding most useful, and enjoying the most? And (perhaps most important) what do they want next? A panel of top researchers, moderated by Dr. Ed Cohen, will talk about all that and more, at the DASH conference, coming up October 23-24 in Detroit. This is the future of the radio industry -- don't miss out!
