The CBAA is seeking workshop proposals from those interested in contributing to this year’s conference being held in Melbourne from 10 - 13 November 2016. We are looking for proposals that focus on capacity-building within community radio stations and effective not for profit business practices.
Submissions from interested speakers should focus on one of the following key topics:
1. Conflict resolution
2. Volunteer management

4. Technology development
5. Community engagement
6. Governance
7. Engaging with rural and regional communities
We welcome submissions from both new and experienced conference presenters who are willing to share their ideas, experience and skills with others in the sector.
