with our growing, vibrant and energetic broadcast sector. With over
120 delegates expected from community radio and community media
projects, your participation in this year's Conference will bring you into
contact with other community broadcasting practitioners whilst accessing the
Community Media Association and its record of engaging with
Government and the wider media industry for over 30 years. <br><br>The
majority of Conference delegates are decision-makers in their community
radio projects or media organisations. Many are active in multiple
sectors, simultaneously holding roles in community, education,
corporate, and non-profit sectors. The Community Media Conference
intentionally brings together participants and presenters from multiple
sectors who share a commitment to learning from and with one another.<br><br>With
first class Conference facilities offered by the University of
Bedfordshire, a high concentration of community radio stations in the
area and excellent transport links from further afield we are expecting
sell-out attendance from the sector this year. Early bird delegate tickets are cheaper than last year's
ticket price and attending stations may be accompanied by volunteers.<br><br></div>We
look forward to seeing you at this year's Community Media
Conference, the premier event for UK community broadcasters, and using
this opportunity to engage with our sector that has made great strides these
last few years in developing sustainability, maintaining resilience and
establishing stability.<br><br><div><b>Book your tickets now: </b><a href="http://community-media-conference-2015.eventbrite.co.uk/" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">http://community-media-conference-2015.eventbrite.co.uk/</a><br></div></div></div></div><div><br></div>\\<div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Community Media Association</div><div>-- <br><a href="http://www.commedia.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.commedia.org.uk/</a><br><a href="http://twitter.com/community_media" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/community_media</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation</a><br><br><span><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">CMA AGM/Conference Saturday 12th September 2015<br><br></span></b></span>Canstream Internet Radio & Video<br><a href="http://www.canstream.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.canstream.co.uk/</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/canstream" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/canstream</a></div></div></div></div>
