About:
Community Media Fest is a regional gathering for anyone using media to inform, engage, and empower their communities. From hands-on technical training to strategy sessions on civic storytelling and cross-sector collaboration, this event brings together high school and college students, local media centers, nonprofit communicators, independent creators, and educators.
Whether you're behind the camera, in the classroom, on the mic, or leading a community initiative — this is where stories, skills, and strategies meet.
Hosted by the Central States Region of the Alliance for Community Media, Community Media Fest is more than a conference. It’s a creative lab, learning space, and networking hub for building what’s next — together.
