    BRINGING NEW BLOOD TO THE FORMAT
    Sponsored by Capitol Records
    The kickoff panel of the R&R Triple A Summit always seems to set the tone for the rest of the gathering, and this year should be no exception. This session will focus on the newer and younger members of the community; the programmers, promotion people and potential listeners. We will look at the subject from two angles: younger programmers within the format and new ways to attract a younger adult audience to Triple A programming. Moderated by Dennis Constantine, KINK/Portland

    MENTORING
    Just because we work in the format, does that mean we know everything there is to know or that we can't learn something new? Some of the most recognizable and successful format veterans will be available to answer your questions. The session will be split into two parts: small-group brainstorming and a period to ask questions and get advice from veterans on both the radio and records sides. Moderated by Erica Farber, Radio & Records
