otherwise the Hotel Pennsylvania is usually sold out)A weekend packed with useful information for your
school or college radio station.
There will be something for EVERYONE who works with a student or community based station.
Over 1,000 people attended last year's IBS Conference.
Besides all those from the East Coast, stations travel
to the IBS convention from as far away as
California, State of Washington, Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Illinois! And, it's always well worth the trip.
People get great info and meet great people from stations just
like yours. One of the great experiences at the IBS convention
is comparing your station and how you do things with others.
Those who were there last year found out how to improve on some
things at your station and also that your station was better
than you thought at other things.
When we said there will be something for everyone, we mean it.
And, it is all focused on RADIO and TV. More useful information for
the kind of station you have than can be found anywhere
else!Go back to IBS home
