One of the biggest highlights during IBMA World of Bluegrass® is our extensive Exhibit Hall. Our goal is to provide a positive, fun experience for exhibitors and attendees alike.
It’s more important than ever for musicians and industry members to find meaningful ways to connect and conduct business with leading-edge product innovations and in-person connections.
IBMA hosts the most in-demand luthiers and instrument sellers, business owners and sellers of the latest music-related products, and vendors who highlight ongoing changes within our industry—and, you get the inside track on consumer trends to help you stay on the cutting edge.
We pride ourselves in providing a centralized place for the bluegrass music community to network, engage, and conduct business with their target demographic in a high-impact way.
