The conference continues to grow in reputation, numbers and quality.

The 2012 National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference is well into the planning stage and both Registrations for the Conference and entries into the X Awards will open in the near future. Keep your eyes open for the full conference program and other conference information both via this website and in the SCMA Newsletters.

As with every Conference the 2012 Conference will have some great Member’s discounts to get you and your station to this great event to enjoy the sharing of knowledge, the exchange of information, the networking and fellowship that make the National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference a stand out event for not only SCMA members but for the Community Broadcasting Sector as a whole.

See you at the National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference 2012 in Ballarat Friday March 2nd to Sunday March 4th 2012

The Conference includes a range of events and workshops including:

The Welcome BBQ

This is s great opportunity to break the ice meet up with old friends and make new friends. The welcome BBQ has been an institution since the first conference and has proved to be a great way to kick off events. So much so that other conferences have now switched to the welcome BBQ theme. The concept is to provide candidates a relaxed non threatening environment to get to know each other and ease into the weekend. There is always a great Barbie and Salads as well as some cold drinks and great conversation.

There is no doubt that the welcome BBQ is a great way to start the conference.

Drinks with the trade

This event is on Saturday afternoon and gives conference delegates and the trade representatives an opportunity to get together in an informal atmosphere over a few drinks and have a chat, discuss products and solutions. It has proved to be very popular with both trade representatives and the conference delegates since it was introduced 4 years ago at the Ballarat Conference.

Conference Dinner and X Awards Presentation

Another great social gathering when all delegates, speakers, trade representatives and organisers get a chance to let their hair down and celebrate the achievements of fellow broadcasters. There is little doubt that this is one of the great social events at the conference and creates an opportunity for fellowship, networking and interaction with all involved in the conference.

All the events mentioned in this article are included in the cost of your registration there are no hidden cost or surprises just great value for money. The SCMA work hard to ensure that the Conference is as affordable and inclusive as possible for all delegates who attend

The Recovery Breakfast

The Conference committee is always looking for ways to add value to the conference for the delegates and keep it interesting and fresh.

In 2012 the National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference will see another feature added to the conference.

The Conference dinner and X Awards are always a highlight of the conference weekend and some of the delegates enjoy themselves a lot more than others.

In 2012 we have decided to introduce the recovery breakfast. Nothing fancy or over the top just a simple Sunday morning bacon, eggs, toast and tea and coffee. Just a little something extra to get the day started and make sure the delegates get a good breakfast to kick off the day.

This will be included in the cost of the conference and the cost to delegates will not increase this year so it is just another bonus to being part of the SCMA National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference.
