The Conclave is now accepting session/speaker submissions for the 35th Annual Learning Conference to be held at the Doubletree Park Place Hotel/Minneapolis on July 15-17th. The conference will address the educational needs of radio station management and the individuals who perform inside programming, promotion, and air talent. The ultimate goal of the conference is to present ideas and solutions designed to build and serve an audience, develop deeper relationships with listeners, better manage talent, increase revenues, while providing individual opportunities for growth.

If you have an idea, issue, or problem you'd like to see addressed at the Learning Conference, including suggested speakers, faculty, or topics, the Conclave’s Agenda Committee would like to hear from you by February 26, 2010.

Download a submission form HERE and send the completed form to the Conclave office at 4517 Minnetonka Blvd, #104, Minneapolis, MN 55416 (fax 952-927-6427 or email tomk@theconclave.com).

The submission form asks the following: the main focus of a presentation, along with what an attendee will learn. It requests a session title and if the session requires other speakers, please provide names and contact information for the suggested faculty. Note that overtly commercial presentations will not be considered and all sessions are 55 minutes in length.

The Conclave prides itself in providing fresh and vital information and inspiration. Therefore, it is not interested in repeating content that has been or will be presented at other industry gatherings.

Said Executive Director Tom Kay, “The agenda process is one of the most important annual tasks of the Conclave. We wish to make sure that every relevant topic in our industry is considered for inclusion, and that is why the Conclave is seeking submissions for the coming Learning Conference.”
