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.
