Broadcasters from across Wisconsin traveled to beautiful downtown Fond du Lac last week to join the WBA Summer Conference. The conference was held at the historic Hotel Retlaw, with sessions and a luncheon hosted at the Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts a few blocks away.
Attendees enjoyed a golf outing, music from Sam Ness, a dinner at the Cellar District, and sessions on leadership, mental health, recruiting, and artificial intelligence. They also heard from legendary Green Bay Packer Paul Coffman, Marquette Law School Poll Director Charles Franklin, and honored the Young Professional of the Year, four new Local Broadcast Legends and four inductees into the WBA Hall of Fame.
Thank you to all the sponsors who supported the Summer Conference.

The 2026 Summer Conference will be held June 18-19 at the La Crosse Radisson.
