Join HostCon for our 11th Annual professional development conference for local public radio hosts and producers November 14, 2026. This year will be virtual, with the goal of making it as easy as possible for local public radio station hosts to attend!

The mission of the HostCon Fund is to enrich and diversify our community of public media professionals through thoughtful and inclusive educational and networking opportunities.
HostCon Fund is a professional development organization run by local public radio hosts and producers, for local public radio hosts and producers. We organize an annual professional development conference that is attended by hosts and producers from across the country. We’ve had people from stations as big as WNYC in New York and as small as KUAC in Fairbanks, Alaska attend our conferences in the past. We also provide regular online professional development opportunities throughout the year.
