2022 Community Media Virtual Conference Schedule Announced

NFCB is excited to share this year’s Community Media Virtual Conference schedule. We will begin announcing the speakers over the next few weeks.

This year, we’ve added bonus sessions. Connection Zones are sessions that came directly out of the feedback we received in focus groups and the 2022 Service Survey. NFCB members want opportunities to talk with colleagues in roles similar to their own. You also told us you wanted opportunities to connect with stations of similar sizes and budgets. In Connection Zone sessions, you’ll have opportunities to do both. More on that soon.

Registration will open 6/1. Registration: $50 for member stations, $100 for non-members.
