We are just under 90 days away from hosting the 2024 BNM Summit in Washington D.C. George Washington University’s ‘Jack Morton Auditorium’ is our venue for this year’s show, and it is spectacular. The dates of the show are September 4-5, 2024, and full details on tickets and hotel rooms can be accessed at BNMSummit.com.
I’ll have additional details to share over the next few months as we finalize the details for this year’s show. Today though I’m excited to announce the return of a highly accomplished talent, creator, and brand builder. Clay Travis spoke at of our 2023 show in Nashville, and I’m thrilled to have him joining us in the nation’s capital for our 2024 conference.
Clay’s accomplishments in the media industry are endless. He currently hosts one of talk radio’s largest and most successful national shows with Buck Sexton. The program airs weekdays from noon to 3 ET on hundreds of stations nationwide. Clay and Buck debuted in June 2021, taking over the time slot previously occupied by Rush Limbaugh. Radio executives voted the show the #1 national news/talk program in Barrett News Media’s Top 20 of 2023.
Travis is also the founder of Outkick. Clay sold the brand in 2021 to Fox but still creates podcasts and video content for the outlet. He frequently appears on television, and is a graduate of George Washington University.
Smart, prepared, and opinionated are words that describe Clay but what I appreciate more is his understanding of the business. Day 1 of the Summit ended last year with Clay holding court for over an hour. The initial plan was a 40 minute chat. Once Clay got rolling though, and the audience began asking questions, he wasn’t rushing to leave. I’m looking forward to having him help us close out Day 1 again this year.
