Hi everyone- David from Spinitron here. I help out with our Spinitron Search work and our music industry connections. Wanted to share something we’re excited to announce!

Spinitron has been a proud supporter of the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) for years, and we’re excited to once again celebrate its stations together in NYC on March 7-8, 2025. We think this is going to be the best year yet because for the first time ever, IBSNYC is featuring an entire afternoon of workshops dedicated to Music Programming, put together by our friends at NACC and FairPlay. We’ll be there as part of Programming 101 AMA with NACC and Spinitron.

We think the day will be a great opportunity for stations to connect, plan how to partner with the music industry and artists, grow to their audience, and build a diverse community on and off the air. We want to see you all there so we’re giving away a pair of tickets so you can join us in NYC! To be eligible, all we need for you is to fill out this survey so our we all can get to know you ahead of IBSNYC 2025 and plan the make it an even more amazing event!

Win a pair of badges to attend IBSNYC 2025: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2oUd7rkLuo2tm5hIIE2glfX5y3uM6pybA074GE_0LUz6oqQ/viewform

We’ll be giving away the tickets in the new year, so submit out before January 15th!

You can learn more about the Music Programming schedule, including the opening night party with The New Colossus Festival here: https://www.ibsradio.org/music2025
