Audacy's David Field and iHeartMedia's Bob Pittman will discuss how they have transformed their business in response to the pandemic and with an eye to the future during a NAB Show session titled "Transforming Radio in the Audio Renaissance," Monday, April 25 at 2pm in Las Vegas.

Field and Pittman will join NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt in conversation to discuss the evolution of radio, embracing change from the top and building a future-focused culture. The conversation will also address the expanded audio industry and building a diversified asset portfolio to ensure success in a rapidly changing media marketplace.

Field has served as Chairman, President and CEO of Audacy (formerly Entercom) since 2002. Under his leadership, the company has evolved from 15 stations to a multi-platform audio and entertainment company with more than 230 stations in 47 markets. Field has appeared on Institutional Investor Magazine's "Best CEOs in America" list three times. He was the recipient of the NAB National Radio Award and was honored as a "Giant in Broadcasting" by the International Radio and Television Society in 2017.

Pittman is Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. Under his leadership, iHeart's broadcast radio assets alone have more consumer reach in the U.S. than any other media outlet and over four times the ad-enabled reach of the largest digital only audio service. Pittman was the recipient of AdWeek's inaugural Media Visionary award and was inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame and the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame. He also serves on the Boards of Directors for the Robin Hood Foundation and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

LeGeyt serves as the chief advocate for America's radio broadcasters and free local television. He previously served as the Chief Operating Officer of NAB before assuming his current role in January. Prior to that, LeGeyt served as NAB's Executive Vice President, Government Relations. He is also on the Board of Directors for the NAB Leadership Foundation.
