The annual national gathering of community-oriented radio broadcasters has been offered every summer since 1981, and it is one of the core activities of the NCRA/ANREC. Campus and community broadcasters are brought together with respected experts for panel discussions, seminars and workshops. It is the only opportunity most broadcasters in the sector have to meet face-to-face.
Workshops at the conference cover many areas including: programming, managment, starting a station, the CRTC, working with music labels, professional development, fundraising and more. There are also numerous social events providing opportunities for networking, informal conversation and fun.
The awards, judged by a jury of accomplished community radio veterans, will be awarded at a gala at NCRC 2009 in Montreal.
