New sessions announced:
Philanthropic Psychology & NPR: Lessons for Australian Community Radio
For years, fundraisers have been focusing on communicating impact to donors, getting ever better at telling stories about how donated monies have been used. Few charities, though, think about how their communication impacts on donors. In seeking to grow giving and boost retention, organisations need to pay greater attention to the words we use and how these words make people feel. In this session, find out how an understanding of donor identity can increase giving by up to 30%, while at the same time making donors feel better about their giving and, therefore, boosting retention.
Presented by Professor Adrian Sargeant. Professor Sargeant is the world’s foremost fundraising academic, and one of the world’s leading authorities on how to achieve growth in philanthropy. He is a prolific author and educator. He has published over ten books and around 150 peer-reviewed academic publications in the domain of individual giving, fundraising and nonprofit marketing.
Radio Presentation Masterclass
Want to find out how to get the best out of your presenters? Or do you just want to polish your own voice? Attend this masterclass in radio presentation with Australian actor, director, writer, voice artist and media personality Lex Marinos. This workshop will not only help you get the most out of your own voice, it will also give you some tips on how to deliver presentation training at your station.
While he has probably had enough Bruno jokes to last a lifetime, Lex Marinos is best known for his role in Kingswood Country as one of Australia's first ethnic characters on television. He more recently played the role of the grandfather in The Slap on ABC TV. Lex also appears regularly on radio and television programs in between acting stints and teaching. For the past five years, Lex has been delivering CMTO presentation training to community radio stations around the country. He is passionate about bringing excellence to the community broadcasting sector and supporting its diversity of voices.

Engaging with Indigenous communities and content in your station
Drawing on the in-depth knowledge of community radio station managers and Indigenous broadcasters in attendance, in this workshop discover how to best engage with local Indigenous communities and the wider benefits of Indigenous contributions at your station. As well as a focus on engaging with Indigenous broadcasters and communities, and collaborating with Indigenous stations, the session will explore the Indigenous employment benefits available to organisations.
Presented by Chris Roper, AICA
