Offering an action-packed 2-day program, the CBAA Conference features  sessions on everything from community engagement, field recording, and succession planning to culture-building and inclusion. It's your chance to get the latest on what's happening in the sector, network with broadcasters from all over Australia and learn from sector leaders, experts and your peers. 

Two more workshops have just been announced today, covering content making and technology:

Talking 'Digital Transformation'

Following an overview of radio digitisation (DAB+) to date and current planning, join as a panel examines various aspects of ‘digital transformation’ and community radio operations. How does the use of digital technologies impact on the operation of stations, inform content creation and production, or change connections with audiences and communities? How are stations utilising the opportunities of digital platforms to broaden or focus areas of content across multiple broadcast and online platforms? Are digital technologies and spaces creating fresh approaches to community access and engagement, training, participation or producing more diverse content? Presented by the CBAA's Digital Radio Project (DRP) team.
