The Western Association of Broadcasters (WAB) has unveiled former newspaper publisher, businessman, and author Conrad Black as its keynote speaker, ahead of its June 5-6 conference at the Fairmont Banff Springs.
The National Post founder, who continues to contribute as a columnist, released his latest book in December, Forgotten History: Civil Rights in Canada, exploring the country’s civil rights record.
He’ll appear in a fireside chat format, alongside David Craig, WAB President and Director of Programming & Development at MCA Media Group. Black will then take questions from those in attendance.
Broadcast/podcast coach and author Valerie Geller of Geller Media International, and talent coach and programming consultant Tracy Johnson, founder of the Tracy Johnson Media Group, are also set to present at the conference.
Registration is now open, in addition to submissions for WAB’s awards program, including the Broadcast Hall of Fame Award, Broadcast Order of Achievement Award, Leaders of Tomorrow Award, and the Gold Medal Awards, recognizing Community Service and Digital Innovation.
