</font><p>The GRC is a national conference that offers people from
volunteer-powered, community radio stations a chance to connect with
each other, learn new skills, discuss issues, and party. This conference
is for everyone interested in shaping the future of community radio and
independent media.</p>
<p>GRC 2012 will focus on the Future of Community Radio. Hundreds of
new community radio stations are being built right now and 1000+ new
stations will be going on air in the next few years. With digital
technology, local community radio stations have the opportunity to
engage global audiences, deploy mobile studios, share community wireless
internet, and become multi-media community centers. Together we will
chart a vision for community radio as a dynamic community-building tool
for decades to come!</p><p><b>Registration options</b>:</p>
