 September 28 - October 4, 2009 Nashville, TN  Official Showcases & "After Hours" One of the most important aspects of the World of Bluegrass events are naturally the performances! Official Showcases There are 19 acts selected to appear as "official showcase acts" during the Business Conference. Acts selected for these official IBMA Showcases have to apply for these opportunities and are selected by the IBMA Showcase Committee. All deadlines for submitting for official showcase opportunities in 2009 have passed. If you would like to be considered for 2010 opportunities, please contact the IBMA office in November/December 2009 for submission details. See the "Artists Appearing" page for more info on these selected acts. After Hours The "After Hours" shows and hospitality functions also take place throughout the week and are hosted by various groups, organizations and companies. They're valuable as an informal means of presenting talent and focusing on different products and services for attendees. The "Hosts" of these after hours events select, coordinate and book the talent they want to appear directly. IBMA does not coordinate talent for after hours functions and does not comp any tickets for participants of the after hours functions. These presentations are part of the overall event, are ticketed and do require conference registration to attend. Want to PLAY in an After Hours Room? If you are an artist looking to book your act in after hours rooms with other hosts - it is up to you to contact hosts and form those relationships. Below is a list of the After Hours hosts who presented in 2008. Hosts will not begin securing space for the 2009 events until late spring/early summer 2009. They may begin securing talent before securing their room if there are acts whom they have relationships with. Again, it is up to the artists to reach out to hosts and make those connections. Want to HOST your own After Hours Room? Artists, companies or orgainzations wanting to host thier own after hours room need to complete a application for room assignment and return it to IBMA by July 10. Click below for full information on being a host. The application is the last two pages of the document. Contact jill@ibma.org if you have additional questions or needs. 2009 After Hours Guidlines and Application 2008 After Hours Hosts
