Since 2006, the Beyond Broadcast conference has served as a lively forum for scholars, media-makers, policy experts and programmers interested in the intersection of media and democracy. The initial conference, "Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory Culture," took place on the Harvard campus; the 2007 conference, "From Participatory Culture to Participatory Democracy," took place at MIT, and the 2008 Beyond Broadcast, "Mapping Public Media," was held at American University.

Beyond Broadcast has expanded its program to include 2 days of sessions and panels, tailored to meet the needs of innovators and experts in public interest media, and including a focus on international public media projects. The conference is designed to provide a collegial environment, encouraging networking and sharing of best practices before, during and after the conference concludes. The goal is also to discover the latest projects, systems and business models that are contributing to growth in community-based and citizen media that can be applied from the hyper local to the international stage.
