Driving change through strategy and innovation

7-9 May at QT, Gold Coast

The Connecting Up Conference is a three-day interactive event that has continued to grow in size and quality since it was first established in 2004. It is targeted to not-for-profits who are interested in innovation, change and finding solutions to further engage with the community and achieve outcomes through improved operational and organisational efficiency.

As technology and the digital landscape continue to evolve rapidly and the competition becomes stronger, not-for-profits need to continue to innovate to keep up with the changes and stay ahead of the game.

The 2014 conference aims to encourage not-for-profits to adopt a more strategic approach in all aspects of their operations, including technology planning, program management, marketing and communications and overall organisational management. We also hope to inspire them to explore their potential areas for growth and opportunities for innovation to achieve more positive outcomes.

The conference is an excellent opportunity for not-for-profits to learn from inspiring international and local speakers, engage and share with other delegates and walk away with new insights to help their organisation drive social change.

Editorial - Mobilising the Community Radio Audience

Abstract
In 2004 the first, national, statistically robust, quantitative assessment of the Australian community broadcasting sector’s audience reach was undertaken. Conducted by McNair Ingenuity, this research provided a major breakthrough in the wider shift to a more audience-centred approach to managing the sector. The findings, significance and implications of this research are considered here. Following recent developments in critical cultural policy studies, this paper locates this renewed concern for community broadcasting audiences within a ‘larger cycle of decision-making’ (O’Regan, Balnaves and Sternberg 2002: 2). The particular influence of developments such as the emerging spectrum market and the imminent transition to digital transmission systems is discussed. These developments are important to understanding why community broadcasting resistance to market-based conceptions of audience is being overcome, and how audience-centredness might be used to facilitate the continuing development of this ‘third’ sector of Australian broadcasting.

De-tooling Technology: networked computing as an environment, purpose and medium for social action

Abstract
Network technologies are very desirable for social action, allowing activists to achieve more with less, more quickly and with broader impact; on the other hand, the very advantages they bring are equally important to the world of contemporary capitalism that social action seeks to change. Thus, we must look beyond network technologies as the easy solution to every problem, and focus instead on the human relationships which might be enabled by them. This focus on relationships requires us to ‘de-tool’ information technology. Instead, for social action, it is more valuable to think of networked computing as part of the environment within which action can occur; an important purpose for such action; and as a medium that nurtures expression and engagement of self and belief.
