*And we're delighted to confirm that Nick Dunkerley of Hindenburg
<https://hindenburg.com/> will be delivering a 90-minute audio editing
masterclass over two breakout sessions.*

This year the theme will be ‘Voices in a Changing World’ and we will be
asking what role does community media play in a changing world and how does
community media respond to global events that affect us at a local level?

There will also be workshops on funding, business models for community
media projects and how community media can foster community development.

The Community Media Conference brings together community broadcasters and
publishers, media enthusiasts, academics and creatives for a day of
learning, exchange and celebration with inspiring speakers, practical
workshops and networking opportunities.

And don’t forget that tickets are priced *two-for-one *for CMA members –
one ticket admits you and one station volunteer!
