The 2024 BNM Summit is just thirty nine days away from taking place in Washington D.C.. Media professionals looking to attend the show can purchase tickets at BNMSummit.com. Speaking this year are NAB CEO Curtis LeGeyt, Futuri CEO Daniel Anstandig, nationally syndicated hosts Clay Travis and Chris Plante, and many more. The full speakers list is available on our conference website.
Hotel rooms are available for those traveling to D.C. for the show. You can make a reservation by clicking here. The Arc Hotel is our hotel partner for this year’s conference. However, there are other nearby options as well. The Summit takes place September 4-5, 2024 at the Jack Morton Auditorium at George Washington University.
To make sure the show is a homerun, we continue to add exceptional people to the lineup. Today, we’ve got a big addition to announce. It is my honor and pleasure to welcome Urban One CEO Alfred Liggins to the 2024 BNM Summit.
Alfred has done an amazing job turning Urban One into an industry powerhouse. Named CEO of Radio One in 1997, Alfred has overseen the company’s radio expansion, acquisition of Reach Media, and launched and developed TV One. Under his leadership, the company went public and made history as the first female African American owned company on the stock exchange. Those accomplishments earned him induction into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame in 2015.
Examining the industry from the top is important at this show. Alfred knows where the business is, and where it’s going, and I’m grateful that he’s making time to join us. His upcoming conversation with former CBS Radio CEO Dan Mason will be a must listen. It will take place on Thursday September 5th from 1:30pm-2:10pm.
We will announce the final group of speakers in August. Among them will be details about our award recipients for this year’s inaugural awards ceremony. My thanks to Premiere Networks for helping us honor difference makers across the media industry. The plan is to release the full schedule on BNMSummit.com the week of August 12-16.
I want to thank Newsmax, Quu, Collette, Bonneville International, Motor Racing Network, Core Image Studio, JJ Surma Voiceovers, Westwood One, and Premiere Networks for supporting the Summit. Conferences don’t work without support. To explore remaining opportunities, contact Stephanie Eads at Stephanie@BarrettMedia.com. I hope to seeing you in September in the nation’s capital.
