<p>The countdown has begun! Only 23 days left to book your early-bird tickets and 53 days to The Community Media Conference 2015 presented by the Community Media Association and hosted by
<a href="http://radiolab.beds.ac.uk/" target="_blank">Radio LaB</a>, University of Bedfordshire, Luton on
<b>Saturday 12th September 2015</b>.<br>
<br>
This year's theme is &quot;Inspiring Through Success&quot; - showcasing and sharing examples of best practice from all community media practitioners whether radio, local television, or online.<br>
<br>
There will be a session on the new CMA development plan and how the organisation is working to better service you - our 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 the CMA has 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 price for CMA members to £40 which is cheaper than last year<b> if you manage to get an early bird ticket</b>. Ticket prices go up to full price from
<u>13th August</u> so best be quick! The Early Bird ticket price for non-members is £100 &#43; VAT plus booking fee. CMA member organisations can also bring
<b>one volunteer free-of-charge</b> per member ticket - please make sure you register your volunteer's name when ordering tickets by using the code 'volunteer'.<br>
<br>
Please note that you will need to pre-register for this event as we will not be able to take registrations on the day.<br>
<br>
