With 150 million listeners, Internet radio is now a mass market medium. Is the marketplace poised to take advantage of that status? What factors are involved in making sure streaming audio services capture their share of the digital spend? From stewardship systems and programmatic buying platforms, to audience and campaign measurement, this panel of experts will examine the tools and techniques involved in propelling spending on online audio to the next level.
RAIN Summit West is a co-located educational partner event to the NAB Show. The agenda comprises panel discussions on key topics affecting the online audio industry, keynote speeches, and thought-leader “POV” speeches.
