As we emerge from the pandemic, we have the opportunity to refocus ourselves and our careers, to reconnect with one another, and to reimagine what bluegrass can do. Challenge becomes opportunity, and IBMA World of Bluegrass 2021 will provide a stage for embracing it.
The IBMA Business Conference features career development sessions with industry experts guiding the conversation, sharing insight, and inspiring you to take your band or brand to the next level. You’ll hear from veterans with decades of industry knowledge as well as newcomers with fresh approaches to the bluegrass business model.
