“Jay is a respected industry leader, known for his innovation and vision,” commented Ron Stone, President and Executive Director of the IBA. “We’re fortunate to have him speak to our attendees about the future of the radio business, and why he has such a positive outlook for the medium’s continued success in the audio space.”
“I’m excited to be a part of the IBA’s In-Focus conference,” stated Bailey. “Independent broadcasters across the country are the heartbeat of the radio industry, and Ron has given them a voice by creating the IBA and setting up a conference that focuses on their specific needs.”
