sharing 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 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 + VAT plus booking fee. CMA member
organisations can also bring <b>one volunteer free-of-charge</b> per member
