2026 SACBA Conference was another huge success!
Thank you to all who attended our 39th SACBA conference!
Once again a sell-out event, the 2026 SACBA Conference and Bilby Awards saw 140 people from 30 community media organisations across South Australia and beyond coming together for 2 days in August, to connect and celebrate excellence in community broadcasting.
The festivities began with our traditional Station Tour, where delegates got a special guided visit of Adelaide community radio stations Life FM, Fresh 92.7 and Three D Radio, followed by a full day of workshops on Saturday at the Lakes Resort Hotel. After our much-anticipated Station Round-up (hearing the latest from all stations), the conference sessions included a Sector Update (with presentations from CBF, CMTO, APRA/AMCOS and CBAA), SACBA’s Compliance Check Up, a Youth Engagement panel, workshops on Sponsorship, Social Media and Strategic Planning, and the long-awaited return of our dedicated Technical Stream in partnership with with Technorama.
The weekend culminated in the Bilby Awards Dinner, with networking pre-drinks, the hotly contested quiz and table activities competition, and the winners from over 65 awards entries.
Congratulations to all stations who participated – and don’t forget to keep adding to your Bilby audio folder throughout the year!
