The Third Coast Festival Conference
is an annual gathering for audio producers and documentarians that convenes in Chicago each Fall. This is an opportunity for producers to come together, listen to each other's work and share ideas and expertise. The three-day conference features listening sessions and panel discussions about topics ranging from the practical to the philosophical and culminates with an awards ceremony honoring the winners
of the TCF / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.

Plans for 2009:
We're sorry to say that the TCF will not be hosting a Conference in 2009, as we focus on building our new, independent organization. Still, we hope you'll come find us out in the world as we take part in other conferences and festivals, and host listening events from coast to coast. |
The 2008 Conference:
Earlier this fall, 350 producers from around the globe gathered in Evanston, IL, for pure audio/radio immersion at the 2008 TCF Conference. For three days
straight we listened, we learned, we discussed, we celebrated and yes, we even sang.
Presenters included NPR veterans, established sound artists and talented college students, and came from all over the U.S., Canada, Germany and from as far away as Rwanda. Sessions ranged from the pragmatic to the philosophical, offering concrete information, creative inspiration and worthwhile provocation.
The 2008 TCF Conference sessions are now online so we invite you to "attend" the Conference from the comfort of your office, living room, car, gym, or...wherever your ipod takes you.
