“The broadcast industry looks considerably different that it did even 5 years ago. Every broadcaster must address their digital strategy or they will find themselves left behind,” said Philip Nelson, chief relationship officer for NewTek. “Broadcast Minds has always brought together brave thinkers who are at the bleeding edge in this transition, and this year we will ask them very specifically about what they see as the big opportunities to increase revenue in this massive shift to digital.”
