Redeem The Airwaves, now on its fourth year, is a media conference that taps the effective potential of various types of traditional and digital media for Jesus Christ. It’s an ideal starting block and stepping stone for Christians and their communities that would like to use social media networking to their best advantage. If it’s your goal to honor God and make disciples and use new media to help bring you there, Redeem The Airwaves 4.0 is one conference you cannot afford to miss.
This year’s theme is “Cut Through The Noise.” We may be a smaller global community thanks to the advent of the Internet, but there is still much work to be done in terms of rising above the barrage of television, radio, print, nontraditional media, and the Internet. How does one make himself visible and audible above the roar of countless websites, creative commercials, and increasingly ubiquitous advertising? Where does one begin in terms of concentrating his efforts to fully maximize his time and marketing buck?
We all have something to say. How do you get yourself heard?
Visit the official website of Redeem The Airwaves 4.0 and learn more about the topics up for discussion. Among them are:
- The Art of Storytelling
- Writing For Radio
- Storyboarding
- Basic Song Composition and Recording
- The Power of Voice Guerrilla Video
- Maximizing New Media
Note: We cannot stress the importance of maximizing new media and harnessing the power of the Internet to your best advantage. You may notice, for instance, that when you Google “Filipino Christian Blog,” FilipinoChristianBlog.gannsdeen.com comes first. There are reasons why our website is ranked highest for that particular search phrase; there are things you can do to ensure that people find you when they search for you. Ganns will be at the conference on Saturday to discuss how Christians can take their online presence to the next level, using a potent mix of blogging, microblogging, and social media networking. Don’t miss it!

The Philippine blogosphere has long ignored a focal niche market: the Filipino-Christian blog.
I estimate around 5% of Philippine blogs are overtly Christian in nature, and this number is growing. Even as more Filipino-Christians make the foray into social media marketing – fancy talk for blogs, podcasts, and the like – without any real idea of the implications of being an online ambassador for Christ and the Philippines, Christian media leaders are coming together to engage believers, establish them in the faith, equip them with ideas on how to really be effective witnesses for Christ online, and empower them to go forth and Multiply, so to speak.
Redeem The Airwaves: Upload! is a three-day media conference on tapping the effective potential of various types of traditional and digital media for Jesus Christ. Running from April 10 to 12 at the Lighthouse Christian Community Building along Buencamino Street in Alabang, Redeem The Airwaves: Upload! is the ultimate starting block and the ideal stepping stone for Christians and their communities seeking to use social media networking to their best advantage: to honor God and make disciples.The conference features the following topics and speakers:
- Making Sense as a Communicator, Francis J. Kong
- Blogging 101, Joey Bonifacio
- Radio 101 and the Future, Mike Pedero
- Podcasting, Jim Reyes and Arnold Gamboa
- Making Videos for the Internet, John Tan of CBN Asia
- The Role of Christians in Media, Julius Fabregas
- The Long Tail Economy, Dr. Chuck Quinley
- Media Values vs. Christian Values, Kata Inocencio
- Organizing Life-Changing Events, Ardy Roberto
- Song Composition, Jungee Marcelo
