Our Hour Luncheon

Join us in Chicago to connect with fellow BIPOC colleagues
Our Hour: A Gathering for BIPOC in Public Media

Thursday, July 9, 2026 | 12:15 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | RSVP Required

Expand your network at this must-attend luncheon event of the PMGC and leave inspired. We will continue the tradition of cultivating connections while centering and celebrating our joy.

Here’s what people enjoyed most at last year’s luncheon:

  • “Getting to know other BIPOC staff, feeling a sense of safety, belonging, support and optimism. Hearing words from staff who have been part of public media for over 10 years was meaningful…”
  • “Welcoming new people into the community, the positive and engaging vibes.”
  • “Communing with other BIPOC folks working in an industry that is not always for us. Especially appreciated the intergenerational conversations and the advice and encouragement from industry veterans for folks newer to public media…”
  • “That it was a time to laugh and enjoy! It was refreshing and gave me energy for the rest of the conference.”

Special thanks to our sponsor PRX for their ongoing, generous support.

Please note: Our Hour is a community bringing together and serving the needs of BIPOC, biracial, and multiracial individuals from across the public media industry with a goal of fostering connection and building lasting relationships.

The RSVP link will be sent to PMGC registrants via email later in May.
