Your station should not have to discover its weak points while it is live on air.
TR26 Roadshow Perth is the practical day for the people who keep community broadcasting moving: station managers, technical volunteers, committee members, producers, presenters and anyone who wants their station to recover quickly when the unexpected happens.
On Saturday 26 September, Technorama brings Crisis Averted to the Novotel Perth Langley for a full day of honest stories, useful conversations and ideas you can take back to your station on Monday.

Not theory. What works when it matters.
Every station has the same quiet risks: the transmitter site no-one has checked properly, the vital password known by one person, the document that is somewhere, the backup that has never been tested, or the system that is clever enough that nobody else can fix it.
Crisis Averted is about getting ahead of those risks. You will hear what has gone wrong at real stations, what could have prevented it, and how to build systems that are resilient without being impossible to understand or maintain.
The goal is not a perfect station. It is a station that can keep going, and a team that knows what to do when it cannot.
What is on the programme
From transmission infrastructure to documentation, broadcasting failures to the future of AI and DAB, the core day is built around the conversations community broadcasters need to have.

Come with the questions that keep you up at night
Maybe you have a transmitter site you are worried about. Maybe your automation, network or backup process needs a second set of eyes. Maybe your station depends on too much knowledge living in one person’s head. Bring it with you.
TR26 Roadshow Perth is designed to make technical resilience accessible. You do not need to be the person who knows every cable, command or acronym. You just need to care about keeping your station on air and be ready to learn from people who have been there.

The Perth roadshow runs from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September, with optional Friday activities and Sunday station tours available through the registration form. The core conference day is Saturday 26 September, from registration at 8:30 am through to the close at 5:00 pm.
