Overview

Join us for 2024 APT Fall Marketplace, held at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown in Cleveland, Ohio, from November 11 - 14, 2024. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, providing a central meeting point for public media professionals to gather from across the country to collaborate and connect.

Attendees can look forward to exciting and informative sessions as we partner with the PTPA Fall Meeting this year. Screen a new slate of upcoming APT program offers and attend the Opening Reception at the nearby Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where you can explore the entire museum, including the new exhibits "Revolutionary Women in Music: Left of Center," "1984," and "Holla If Ya Hear Me," a celebration of 50 years of hip hop. Plus, don’t miss professional development opportunities for stations and an expanded day of professional development for producers, and much more! We hope to see you this November in the "Rock & Roll Capital of the World!”
