James – so why am I not on the Speakers list? Let me come and talk about the following: Setting up and running a Online Community Radio Station, Online streaming and Broadcasting LIVE, and… Podcast Production the tech, tips n tools.

I’ll come and do this for FREE ! (if R.A.T.E could cover my train fee..? and have some tasty free conference food..)

I’ll also blog and Twitter and podcast about your event too.

That was a good sell James! I’m in, if I can get my boss to pay for me.

I used to blag my way into these things like nobody’s business when I was part of the SRA, but since I’ve actually been working professionally I’ve never felt comfortable asking my boss as I doubt they’d pay or it’s just something that’s never been even brought up as an option. That’s two BBC networks, a major indie and a major commercial group.

But fingers crossed! I’ve actually asked this time round. Albeit meekly by email.

Crikey, Peter – thanks. Half the price of the Media Guardian’s charity pricing, but seemingly we can’t please everyone.

Absolutely, you’ll learn a whole heap from discussion boards. There’s a very good one at www.mediauk.com after all… (grin)

“just £150″ is still “just” totally beyond many small community radio groups’ budget! You could buy a really nice presenter mic for that money…
Is there really anything these guys are going to say that we can’t find on discussion boards online for free?
Admittedly it is a lot cheaper than the Guardian Media summits, and it looks very interesting, and I would love to go. But am would our station really benefit to the tune of £150?
