2025 All Things Technical Roadshow

Background to the Roadshow

A year ago, TNF held its first national ‘All Things Technical Roadshow’ which was a huge success with engaging and knowledgeable speakers. The technical aspect continues to be equally important as the readers, presenters, news editors and the administration but we have never had an event solely for the Technicians.

The content of the day is aimed at those volunteers who have an interest in or a responsibility for the technical aspect of running a TN such as recording or editing. You might be new to the role or have always wanted to get involved in that aspect of the TN so come along and find out what is involved.

You will have the opportunity to try new ways of doing things in our ‘Studio’ on the day with experts to advise and support.

2025 Technical Roadshow

Welcome to our second TNF Technical Roadshow being held in the heart of the Midlands. We are again recognising the importance of the technical element of the Talking Newspapers.

The day is designed to cover every aspect of recording and the equipment we all use to ensure the best quality recordings for our Listeners.

The content of the day is aimed at those Volunteers who have an interest in or a responsibility for the technical aspect of running a TN. You might be new to the role or have always wanted to get involved in that aspect of the TN so come along and get involved.
