Last Call For The Conclave!

• For the 45th — and last time — the nation’s oldest programming and talent conference — The Conclave — will make an encore appearance on Sept. 15-17, 2026, in Minneapolis, naturally.

Notes Conclave Executive Director Emeritus Tom Kay, “The Conclave has always been a bright beacon nurturing the unique community of professional and student radio communicators while helping them navigate these past 50 challenging but rewarding years. But times have changed. Our industry’s educational platforms have changed. And the curtain must now come down on this noble learning institution.”

“But not before one more incredible reunion in 2026!” exclaimed Bob Goff, Conclave Chair and GM of Heart of Wisconsin Media LLC’s WCWI (Wisconsin 106)/Adams, WI. Goff added, “The Last Conclave’s agenda is still being finalized, but expect to experience the same check-your-ego-at-the-door atmosphere surrounding the usual cutting edge/ask me anything topics and expert faculty for which it has been known. And expect all the networking opportunities, and entertainment you’ve come to expect from a Conclave.”

Remember: The Conclave is one of the industry’s only 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer educational organizations. Admission? The same affordable $99 rate that set The Conclave apart from other industry events in its earliest years… but for a limited time only. Enrollment details will be available soon, and limited sponsorship opportunities will be announced at the same time.

So, plan and budget now for the most rewardingly different three days you may ever spend in radio! Details soon!
