We are thrilled to be planning to meet up with you in person in New Orleans and online September 13-17 for the hybrid 2026 NETA Conference.

This year, NETA and PMBA are coming together as core partners, combining our strengths to support professional growth, broaden networking opportunities, and create a more meaningful conference experience for you. While our organizations have traditionally hosted distinct events, this partnership reflects a shared belief: the opportunities and challenges facing stations today are best addressed together. The result is a conference designed to be more connected, more collaborative, and more relevant across roles and departments.

The hybrid conference will feature multiple learning tracks, including community engagement, education, content, professional development, station innovation, and more. New this year, thanks to PMBA, we are also offering HR and finance learning tracks for CPE/CEU credits.

While we will have inspiring storytellers on the main stage, what really makes the NETA Conference unique and valuable are the 30+ station-led sessions. Hear directly from your peers across the system, people doing the hard work every day, just like you. These connections with your colleagues reach far beyond the conference, creating collaborations, inspiring innovation, and leading to lasting and vital relationships.

Join us in continuing to honor CPB’s legacy and commitment to thought leadership. We believe in the strength of our system and the power of collaboration. NETA’s strategic framework is built on resilience, innovation, and support for member stations. Together, we will adapt, evolve, and emerge stronger. Now is the time to Be Bold. 

Registration will open April 6 for NETA Members, allowing you the flexibility to choose which fiscal year works best for your budget. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas, or concerns. Your voice matters, and collaboration is essential as we shape the future of public media together.

We hope to see you in person or online September 13-17!
