The 2024 BNM Summit is coming to Washington D.C. on September 4-5, 2024 at the Jack Morton Auditorium at George Washington University. Though the event may feel a long ways away, the days and weeks pass quickly. Before you know it summer is over, kids are back in school, and we’re standing on a stage sharing ideas, opinions, and information, and exploring new paths forward for one of radio’s most important formats.

If you haven’t made plans to join us yet, tickets are on sale here. You can also reserve your hotel room here. I highly recommend not waiting until the last minute to take care of your accommodations and tickets. There won’t be any wiggle room closer to the event.

We’ve previously announced 19 top-notch broadcasters for the 2024 BNM Summit. Today, we’re adding six more to the list, expanding our speakers group to twenty five.

It’s a pleasure to welcome back Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott, KMOX and 97.1 FM Talk Brand Manager Steve Moore, and Edison Research co-founder and President Larry Rosin to our conference. Larry won’t be coming alone though this time. He’s bringing Edison’s Director of Research Laura Ivey with him. Larry and Laura will present together, Julie will be part of a revenue session involving Mike Hulvey and Steve Passwaiter, and Steve will be part of a programming panel alongside Ken Charles and Bill Hess.

In addition to Julie, Larry, Laura and Steve, I’m excited to have Westwood One’s Vice President of News and Talk Programming Kevin DeLany, and WBAL Newsradio 1090 & FM 101.5’s Director of Programming/News Director Jeff Wade joining us for their first Summit experience. Kevin joins a panel that will include Fox News Radio’s John Sylvester. Jeff will be part of one that features David Wood and Tim Wenger. I’m expecting to announce another high-profile addition to the Summit next week. Stay tuned!

The full schedule for the show won’t be released until closer to the show. We do this by design. There’s more still to finalize including our very first award’s presentations presented by Premiere Networks. In the meantime, if your business is interested in being an event partner, email Stephanie Eads. She can let you know which opportunities are still available.

We are expecting a full room for this event. The show lineup is stellar, and it’s only going to get stronger. Thanks as always for the support, and I hope to see you in the nation’s capital in September.
