year's theme is "Inspiring Through Success" and we will showcase and
share examples of best practice from all community media practitioners

session on the new CMA development plan and how the organisation is
working to better service its members. We will have quick lightning
talks on funding, sustainability, and fund-raising. And we have a number
of breakout sessions on the Memorandum of Understanding that we have
with the BBC, an update on the small-scale DAB trial, local TV, and
hyperlocal journalism.<br><br>We have been able to reduce the ticket

manage to get an early bird ticket. Ticket prices go up to full price
from 13th August so best get your ticket quick! The non-members' Early
Bird ticket price is £100 + VAT plus booking fee. CMA member
