You may know her as the award-winning co-anchor on NBC News' TODAY show, but she’s also a bestselling author, cancer survivor, and social good advocate.

Kotb joined Savannah Guthrie as co-anchor of TODAY in 2018—a historical move and a first for the morning show landscape—and co-hosts the fourth hour of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna. She has also been a Dateline NBC correspondent since 1998 and is a New York Times bestselling author for her books I Really Needed This Today, Hoda, and Ten Years Later, as well as for her two children’s books, I’ve Loved You Since Forever and You Are My Happy. The four-time Emmy® winner has been honored multiple times with the Alliance for Women in Media’s Gracie Award (most recently in 2019), as well as with the 2006 Peabody Award and the 2002 Edward R. Murrow Award.

We can’t wait to hear from Hoda at bbcon 2020 Virtual, October 6-8!

That’s not all! GRAMMY Award-® and Brit Award- nominated artist Natasha Bedingfield, known for her uplifting pop hits “Unwritten” and “Pocketful of Sunshine,” and named one of VH1’s “100 Greatest Women in Music,” will join us for a special performance!
