What last year's delegates said:

"Thank you so much for the Foot in the Door event. It was absolutely
fantastic! It was so different than any other conference I?ve been to,
and really got me thinking seriously about the career I want in radio
and how to get it. The speakers were brilliant and made everybody feel
comfortable and confident. Thanks again, I will definitely keep up to
date with the Radio Academy and any other events you might be putting
on."
Rebecca Heyes

"Foot In The Door was a thoroughly enjoyable day as it was great to
meet radio professionals and others starting out. It is very encouraging
to hear how the people you listen to or who work on the stations and
programmes that you love were once in the same boat as you. The
competition was an added bonus, particularly as I was one of the two
winners! I enjoyed a week at BBC 6 Music and Somethin? Else, both of
which have cemented my desire to further my career in the Radio
industry. All in all since attending the event my knowledge, abilities
and confidence have grown tremendously and it has given me an excellent
grounding to build from."
