What a Great Weekend at “The National Regional, Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference”

With the weekend kicking off with the Traditional Welcome BBQ hosted by the gang at Voice FM Ballarat that set the mood for the 4th National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference it could be nothing but a Huge success for all concerned and that was how it turned out.

With Stations form NSW, Victoria, South Australia and as far away as Western Australia registered for this year’s conference it was all go. The conference theme was back to Basics and the Key Note Speaker “Jen Harwood” fired delegates up with an outstanding motivational speech and opening session for the conference. It was obvious from the start that this year’s conference was going to be one of the better conferences.

There was a wide variety of workshops for delegates to attend with topics such as Governance, Sales, Marketing your station, Production techniques, Conflict resolution and much more there was plenty for the delegates to learn and experience. Once again this year the National Regional, Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference was lucky to have such high quality speakers as Jen Harwood, Ian Stanistreet, Michael McFeeters, Brad Boyd and representatives from the ACMA to name just a few.

The Trade people continue to support the conference and it was great to see people there from 4 People media, ARFC, Amber, MJM Player, The Hunter institute,
Tie Line, Klotz Digital and The Absolution Centre. It is always pleasing to see the trade people at our conference and the support and information that they provide to delegates both through the face to face contact and through the Trade Technical Forum.

The conference dinner and X Award presentations were once again a sensational evening of fun, laughter and friendship. The conference dinner is the social event of the conference and gives delegates a great chance to chat and catch up with both new and old friends. As they say winners are grinners and there were a lot of grinners as the 3rd Annual X Awards Presentations were made. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners of the awards and watch this space for all the winners and finalists of the X Awards in the next week or so.

All in all the conference was a huge success with some great positive feedback and suggestions for the next conference in May 2009.
