IEBA Honors

For the first time IEBA Honors will be held at the historic Ryman Auditorium on October 12, 2009! IEBA Honors tickets are included in your registration fee for the conference. See the registration page for details.

Each year we salute those that have shaped where we are and those that continue to reinvent the entertainment industry. This year we will honor Barbara Hubbard with the Harry A. Peebles Award for her selfless mentorship to numerous students, many of whom have gone on to enjoy great success as performers and industry business leaders. We are thrilled to have one of Barbara's former ACTS winners, comedic genius Jeff Dunham, pay tribute to Barbara on October 12 at the famous Ryman Auditorium. Additional 2009 honorees will be announced in the coming weeks.

Past honorees have included those listed below as well as: Patti Page, Loretta Lynn, Lou Rawls, Brenda Lee, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Wayne Newton, Barbara Mandrell, ZZ Top, Styx, LeAnn Rimes and numerous others.
