Since 1996, Dan O’Day has been presenting a 2 day conference that’s called The International Radio Creative and Production Summit. I’ve attended every year since 1997 and have gained an amazing amount of valuable and useful information every year.
Each year is different. Some years the focus is on station imaging and production, some on writing, some on voiceover work. All 3 categories are represented every year, what changes is the emphasis. This year with Pat Fraley, Terry Berland and Don LaFontaine presenting, I think you can tell, voiceover is going to be in the spotlight. You can still save $100 on registration if you sign up to attend before the end of July. Click here for registration details.
And if you do attend, I hope you’ll make sure to say hello. I’ll be the large guy in the long-sleeved white business shirts and ties. I don’t think you’ll be able to miss me.
Thanks very much for the nice plug, Bob!
Actually, we’ve also got some heavy-duty copywriting sessions, too. (Although you’ve already attended my Hypnotic Advertising seminar, which I’m doing this year.)
(And I’ll see you at the Repeat Offenders session. We have a surprise guest lined up.)
Dan,
You’re welcome for the plug. And I certainly didn’t mean to suggest there would be nothing for writers and producers. There will indeed. Your Hypnotic Advertising Seminar will be worth the price of admission. Yes, I’ve taken it. Twice in fact. And I have the CDs.
And I’m really looking forward to the Repeat Offenders session. It’s always good to see you and so many other old friends at the start of the weekend.
Be well,
Bob
Hi Bob,
That looks like a lot of fun 🙂 Perhaps we’ll make it down for the Dan O’Day Summit in a year or two.
Thanks for supplying the info. It would be great if you were to write a reflection to share on your blog so that we can link to it for those who couldn’t make it on the Good Ship VOX Daily.
Cheers,
Stephanie
Stephanie,
I will for sure have some reports from the Summit here on my blog, as I have for the last 2 years. (To see examples of my previous reports, just search on the word “Summit.”)
It would be terrific to see you there some time in the future. As long as Dan keeps having these events, I’ll be there. Of course, as Dan points out in his comment above, there’s a lot more happening that just voiceover.
Be well,
Bob
Boy, I am DROOLING over this one! I would love to go…heck I lived in L.A. for 18 years and now I want to go back for this so bad I can taste it…but the kids need to eat and the bills need-a-payin before splurging on such a wonderful event as this!
Please keep us posted.

Brian,
I understand both your wish to go and your hesitation. I can only say that in the 10 years I’ve been attending, I’ve made many multiples of the cost of being there each year, based on what I’ve learned each time.
But, you can be sure, I will have reports to post every day.
Be well,
Bob
