CBI is very pleased to announce the lineup of sessions for the Fall Conference in Louisville this coming October. There are over 80 sessions and events planned just by CBI. Together with ACP and CMA, there are over 400 at the largest student media annual convention in the nation! With well over 2000 people attending each year, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet your peers from across the nation and to network outside of the sessions. We are also working on a career fair for those so inclined. Employers, now is the time to contact CBI to reserve your space and help meet your EEO requirements! The convention is at the Galt House which is located a short (enclosed and air conditioned) walk from shopping and all types of dining, including quiet cafes, ethnic restaurants, bourbon lounges, casual eateries, and popular national chains. Keep the energy going outside the convention. The Fourth Street Live! entertainment district is just up the street.
