The 22nd Annual Public Radio Programming Conference is an opportunity for those involved or interested in programming to hone their skills, network with colleagues, find answers to questions and spend four days immersed in the pursuit of excellent content.

In the tradition of PRPD Conferences past, this year's gathering will also inspire. You will hear prominent public radio voices and those outside our industry not just explain where we are as an industry but where we are going and how to get there despite -- or because of -- the troubled economy.

This year's program includes sessions designed to help PDs not just survive but thrive in these uncertain times. Attend, and you will return to your station armed with new knowledge about:

* programming on multiple platforms;
* on-air fundraising;
* marketing for program directors;
* making the most of social media;
* new paradigms for program creation;
* improving your management skills;
* and much more...
