The British Columbia Association of Broadcasters (BCAB) and the Western Association of Broadcasters (WAB) are coming together to launch FWD. This new joint conference looks boldly to the future of media in Western Canada.
FWD symbolizes progress, innovation, and a collective drive to move our industry forward. This event will bring together media professionals, industry leaders, and creative thinkers to explore what’s next — from emerging technologies to new models of storytelling and audience engagement.
Our Future Vision speaker series will feature voices both from within broadcasting and from parallel industries that have faced transformative change and emerged stronger, more innovative, and more connected.
Join us in Kelowna as we look ahead, exchange ideas, and shape the future of media — together.
all the latest information will be updated at our new conference page: www.fwdconference.ca
Sincerely,
Kevin Gemmell
BCAB President
Our Mandate: Unite and Inspire
Since 1947, the British Columbia Association of Broadcasters has represented private television and radio broadcasters with the mandate to combine the resources and strength of our industry in three key areas: to promote and contribute to community enhancing programs throughout our province, to present a unified and credible voice in matters that affect our evolving industry, and to provide our members with information and inspiration through our annual FWD Conference.
As one of the most enduring and essential communications industries, the private broadcasters of BC have a long and productive history of serving the citizens of this province. A commitment to the delivery of timely and useful information as well as diverse programming is the collective goal of the radio and television broadcasting industry. The emergence of new media platforms – online and mobile – present even greater opportunities for our members to connect with the audience we serve. The BCAB actively works at strengthening our voice in the wider business community and contributing to the positive growth of our province.
