IBMA Business Conference attendees can sign up for the Songwriter Track at NO ADDITIONAL COST! Conference registration includes all Songwriter Track events as well as all other conference events (e.g. IBMA Keynote Address, IBMA Industry & Momentum Awards luncheons, Exhibit Hall, and more)
The Songwriter Track events are geared for songwriters interested cultivating the craft, developing solid business practices, networking, and pitching material to bluegrass artists and producers. Events include:
A great way to meet and network with other writers and some of our industry’s top publishers, record producers, song pluggers, record label reps and artists. Held in a relaxed setting, including refreshments and cash bar. Don’t miss it!
The IBMA Songwriter Showcase is a unique opportunity to showcase your original compositions before a live audience at IBMA World of Bluegrass. Each participant performs one song for an audience of artists, producers, and publishers looking for new material. It all starts with a song!
Back by popular demand, the IBMA Songwriter Mentor One-On-One session gives aspiring songwriters the opportunity to spend quality time with an accomplished bluegrass songwriter. This year, we are elevating our game and making the event even more special by providing twelve participants a full 50 minutes with one of the top writers in bluegrass — in person, face to face. Participants may use this time to work on a new song together, ask questions, get feedback on a song, or pick a pro’s brain about the songwriting industry in general. This unique opportunity is only available at the IBMA “World of Bluegrass” event. Attendance is limited.
APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON
In addition to special events like the Songwriter Showcase and Mentor Sessions, seminars tailored specifically for songwriters and lead by the best in the business will engage you with critical issues in publishing and copyright, royalties, co-writing, pitching, and more!
