hostcon announces cancellation of 2026 conference
Given the financial uncertainty for so many stations right now, we have decided to cancel this year’s virtual HostCon conference. The board will regroup and consider ways for the organization to continue to offer affordable professional development to as many public radio stations as we can. Thank you for understanding and stay tuned for what’s next!
OUR MISSION
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.
ABOUT HOSTCON
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.
