Details concerning the Spring convention in NY will be available soon. This is a CMA event, but CBI provides all broadcast related sessions as a service to CMA. The convention will be held March 17-19, 2005 at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. The broadcast portion of this event include 17 sessions in which we bring in NY working professionals to address the concerns of those considering a career in media. This event is focused. If you want inside information or your students want career tips, this is for the place to be. If you want generic info concerning your radio only operations, sign up for the event happening the prior week (or join us in New Olreans next fall!)
