Below is a press release I received from College Broadcasters Inc. announcing their sessions at the National College Media Convention. To an old radio folk like me, the line up of panels and panelists is impressive. I couldn't find a link to the release, so it is pasted below as I thought Radio-Info board readers interested in college radio might want to be aware of the conference.
THE 2011 COLLEGE BROADCASTERS, INC. ANNUAL FALL CONVENTION OFFERS OVER 80 SESSIONS AT THE 90TH ANNUAL NATIONAL COLLEGE MEDIA CONVENTION
The world’s largest gathering of student media participants, the National College Media Convention, is coming to the Renaissance SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida from October 26-30, 2011. College Broadcasters, Inc. (CBI) will present more than 80 sessions, events, and tours geared towards student radio and television broadcasters and webcasters.
Highlights include FCC 101, a special pre-convention workshop, on Wednesday, October 26; a presentation by Skip Pizzi, Director of Digital Strategies, National Association of Broadcasters; and a special focus on issues related to the recent spate of sales of student radio stations.
CBI, which successfully represented college radio stations that also webcast before the Copyright Royalty Board, will inform attending stations of what is needed to be compliant with webcasting and other copyright issues. Additionally, a representative from SoundExchange, the organization that collects royalties from streaming radio station, will be in attendance.
Also at the convention, CBI will announce the winners of the National Student Production Awards at a special recognition ceremony on Friday, October 28. There were nearly 600 entries judged by industry professionals. A list of finalists is available at http://www.askcbi.org/?p=2203.
CBI believes this year’s conference will be invaluable for high school and college radio and television stations. “CBI has a fantastic lineup of sessions this year thanks to many students, advisers and industry professionals who volunteer their time to share their experiences, knowledge and information,” says CBI Executive Director Will Robedee.
