The Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) has finalized its plans to present a series of revenue and professional development-oriented sales and marketing sessions at the 2019 NAB Show, scheduled for April 6-11 in Las Vegas.
These sessions are a part of the Business of Media program, at the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall.
The four sessions, led by the RAB Professional Development team, feature an array of radio and digital executives who will share their perspectives on creating radio commercials that drive revenue, learning to embrace disruption and maintain what makes traditional media vital in the new media landscape, all while increasing revenue with digital monetization strategies and alternative revenue concepts.
