Closing Broadcasting’s Canyon


Thurs., August 7 • 1-2 PM
Location: Nexstar Room
Speaker(s): Derron Steenbergen, The Swagger Institute

Categories: Radio/TV Managers

Broadcasting has a silent, but threatening issue occurring across the industry.  It is creating a deepening canyon within staff throughout this wonderful business. 

We are blessed with an incredible numbers of veterans, but struggling to grow new employees into productive, long term broadcasters.  This divide is a problem and it is important that leadership begins to take action. 

This session will outline how we got to this point, while offering solutions to start building the staff of the future. 

Don’t miss this deep dive into the growing canyon across broadcasting. 

It’s time we build the bridge before the gap is too wide.
