WASHINGTON, D.C. / NEW YORK -- Organizers of the Radio Show, jointly produced by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), will present a Super Session entitled "Radio and the Connected Car." The session will take place on Thursday, September 19 at 9:15 a.m. at the Radio Show in Orlando.
Leading strategists, analysts and researchers will discuss developments in the connected car, what consumers want and where the technology is headed. This session will reveal data from surveys, focus groups and consumer clinics along with sneak peeks at what car makers and their suppliers have in store for the dashboard of the future. Participants will offer specific recommendations on what radio can do now to maintain its prominence in the automobile for years to come.
The Super Session will feature research and insight from experts in both connected car technology and the radio industry, including presentations by Roger C. Lanctot, associate director, Global Automotive Practice at Strategy Analytics; and Fred Jacobs, president of Jacobs Media. A representative from Arbitron will provide introductory remarks.
Roger Lanctot's expertise includes defining future trends in automotive safety, powertrain and infotainment systems. He has 25 years experience as an analyst, journalist and consultant. At Strategy Analytics, he specializes in tracking, analyzing and forecasting in-car infotainment systems and in-vehicle connectivity.
