Conclave Talentrak 2006 in Charlotte

Talentrak this year was in Charlotte this past October 21st, 2006, the event was "race" themed with the first session titled "QUALIFYING: HOW TO GET YOUR CAREER IN THE POLE POSITION" in the Discovery ballroom of the Holiday Inn, uptown Charlotte. Kiss 95.1 Operations Manager and Program Director John Reynolds (on the right in the picture) and WLNK The Link Program Director Neal Sharpe (on the left) were the speakers who gave a good deal of insight into their day-to-day activities that involve seeking new talent.
The second session was called "THE RACE: LAPPING THE COMPETITIVE FIELD" with (pictured left to right in the photo at right) Jaye Delai from Middays at Q-92.7, Matt Harris from The Matt and Ramona Show on The Link, and Potter from The Candi and Potter Show on The Link.
The third session, "THE CHECKERED FLAG: WINNING AT THE CORPORATE LEVEL" was especially entertaining for me to get a chance to hear Dan Vallie (pictured at left) speak about his roots in North Carolina, as well as his insights into the political workings of a group of stations. The whole event was worthwhile to me when I got to speak one-on-one with Vallie, Bill White from WBT, and Neal Sharpe from The Link.
War Stories rounded out the day with two information-filled stories by former WSOC Program Director Paul Johnson (in the blue shirt), who is now at WKML.

Bill Klaproth from The Loop in Chicago was the emcee and moderator for all the sessions. The keynote speaker at the luncheon was Sheri Lynch from The Bob and Sheri morning show on The Link. Tom Kay and the gang once again put on a great Talentrak this year, I was glad it was in Charlotte!
