For the first time in its nearly four-decade history, Talentmasters’ Annual Morning Show Boot Camp (MSBC) will take place in Cleveland, Ohio. The 38th edition of the industry-leading event is set for 2026 at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel, organizers announced.
MSBC founder and host Don Anthony said the decision to bring the event to Cleveland was driven by accessibility and location.
“We’re most pleased to have chosen Cleveland as the host city for MSBC 38 in 2026,” Anthony said. “In choosing each year’s location, there are a number of factors involved. Among them, first selecting a city that’s easily accessible by air or that can be traveled to by car from numerous surrounding cities. One look at a map and you’ll see that Cleveland is a fairly short drive from a number of top cities. Including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Cincinnati, and several others.”
Anthony also highlighted the importance of selecting a venue that provides convenience and entertainment options.
“Secondly, we choose a centrally-located, top-rated hotel that’s within walking distance or close to numerous restaurants and entertainment spots,” he explained.
Affordability for attendees was another priority in planning MSBC 38. Anthony noted that the Hilton Cleveland Downtown is offering the event’s lowest nightly rate in years. Making the trip more accessible for radio professionals and industry insiders. To celebrate the announcement. Talentmasters is releasing a limited batch of early-bird tickets at $267, a significant discount from the standard $465 rate.
