Conference Registration
The 22nd Annual Public Radio Programming Conference is an opportunity for those involved or interested in programming to hone their skills, network with colleagues, find answers to questions and spend four days immersed in the pursuit of excellent content.
To keep your travel costs affordable (and green), we have arranged two new items this year:
- A week-long transit pass included in your registration fee - unlimited use of the RTA good for:
a) Easy non-stop,
roundtrip rail to & from inside the
airport to inside the conference hotel.
b) Direct transportation to Opening Receptions at
Idea Center (WCPN) and
House of Blues (WKSU).
Note: Pass will be mailed to all registrants 2 weeks prior to the conference
2.
Discount airfare on Continental Airlines, the official conference airline.
This year's program includes sessions designed to help PDs not just survive but thrive in these uncertain times. Attend, and you will return to your station armed with new knowledge about:
- programming on multiple platforms;
- on-air fundraising;
- marketing for program directors;
- making the most of social media;
- new paradigms for program creation;
- improving your management skills;
- and much more.
In the tradition of PRPD Conferences past, this year's gathering will also inspire. You will hear prominent public radio voices and those outside our industry not just explain where we are as an industry but where we are going and how to get there despite -- or because of -- the troubled economy.
Pre-conference events include:
And, there's the invaluable networking; colleague to colleague conversations that help solve problems, generate ideas and renew valuable connections.
