This year’s Community Media Conference provides an opportunity to network
with our growing, vibrant and energetic broadcast sector. With over 120
delegates expected from community radio and community media projects, your
participation in this year's Conference will bring you into contact with
other community broadcasting practitioners whilst accessing the Community
Media Association and its record of engaging with Government and the wider
media industry for over 30 years.

The majority of Conference delegates are decision-makers in their community
radio projects or media organisations. Many are active in multiple sectors,
simultaneously holding roles in community, education, corporate, and
non-profit sectors. The Community Media Conference intentionally brings
together participants and presenters from multiple sectors who share a
commitment to learning from and with one another.

With first class Conference facilities offered by the University of
Bedfordshire, a high concentration of community radio stations in the area
and excellent transport links from further afield we are expecting sell-out
attendance from the sector this year. Early bird delegate tickets are
cheaper than last year's ticket price and attending stations may be
accompanied by volunteers.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's Community Media Conference,
the premier event for UK community broadcasters, and using this opportunity
to engage with our sector that has made great strides these last few years
in developing sustainability, maintaining resilience and establishing
stability.
