"The Community Media Conference is a gathering of the tribes, a chance to 
learn from one another, so we can grow from strength to strength. I look 
forward to seeing many familiar faces and plenty of new ones there. We all 
spend so much time focusing on the needs of the communities we serve, it is 
important to make time to come together as a community ourselves".

*Lucinda Guy, Chair Community Media Association, Soundart Radio*

The community media conference is the one event community media 
practitioners shouldn’t miss. It’s a fantastic annual opportunity for 
sharing knowledge and experiences with peers, opportunities for networking, 
forging strategic partnerships and starting friendships.  A chance to unite 
and celebrate as a sector. 

*Terry Lee, Community Media Association Council member, RadioLaB, Luton*

“10th September is in my diary for the 2016 Community Media Conference and 
I am looking forward to sharing experiences with other community radio 
operators and also sharing best practice. The venue too is first class!!!”

*Martin Steers, Community Media Association Council member, Scout Radio, 
Home Counties Community Media*

"I'm really looking forward to this year's Community Media Conference at 
the Birmingham School of Media at Birmingham City University. Its fantastic 
to see us move the conference around and make sure its in an accessible 
location with excellent transport links to the rest of the country and 
beyond, the Community Media Association expects a bumper turnout this year 
and we look forward to seeing you there too."

*Sujata Sian, Nu Sound Radio, Newnham*

"I have the date for the 2016 Community Media Conference in my diary and I 
expect to be there. Birmingham City University School of Media is an 
excellent location for this year's Conference right in the middle of the 
country with excellent transport links. With so much advance notice, this 
year's Conference looks to be better than ever!".

*Shirley Ludford, Swindon 105.5*

"We're really looking forward to this year's event, as it's a great chance 
to meet like minded peers and discuss best practice and the daily 
challenges we all face. This year's Conference looks set to be the best one 
yet and we're looking forward to meeting up with stations up, down and 
across the land. If you haven't yet been to Conference make sure this is 
the year you do!"

*Pete Flynn, SFM 106.9, Sittingbourne*

The Community Media Conference 2015 was a great event well organised with a 
variety of workshops on excellent topics.  Being able to meet  with other 
community stations was brilliant, being able to discuss best practice and 
exchange idea’s in a relaxed informal setting.  I am really looking forward 
to the 2016 conference it looks set to be another great event. 

*Ray Siddique, Asian Star 101.6, Slough*

"This year's Community Media Conference looks set to be one of the best 
ones ever and I have put the date in my diary. Birmingham has excellent 
transport links from all over the country so make sure you are there too!" 
Community Media Conference is the best place to meet, network and share 
ideas to improve even more on the wonderful work done by all community 
radio nationally".

*Ram 'Kelly' Kalynan, Unity 101, Southampton*

"The annual CMA conference is a highlight of the year, enabling community 
radio operators to hear high quality speakers, receive updates on news from 
the sector, network with each other and see some of the latest broadcasting 
and studio equipment. It is a not-to-be-missed event.
 
This year's conference is on September 10 at Birmingham City University 
School of Media, which is a superb central location for everyone to get to 
easily. It is excellent to have this link with education as media training 
plays such an important part in community radio. The conference is eagerly 
anticipated and a large turnout is expected".

*Christine Slomkowska, Managing Director, 103 The Eye, broadcasting to the 
Vale of Belvoir and Melton Mowbray.*

"Community Media conferences are where anyone that wishes to truly learn 
about the mechanics of community radio and TV should attend.  Gloucester FM 
fully endorses the CM conference. When the management of Gloucester FM set 
off on the making the dream of having a full-time community radio station 
in Gloucester a reality, we would be seen at most CM conferences in the UK 
network. The knowledge gained at Conference taught us what we needed to 
know when we applied for and got our first full time community licence. 
This year's Community Media Conference looks set to be one of the best ones 
ever and I have put the date in my diary. Birmingham has excellent 
transport links from all over the country so make sure you are there too".

*Derrick Francis, founder, Gloucester FM 96.6*
