ZZ TOP To Receive Living Legend Award At iebaLIVE!

Nashville, TN (www.ieba.org) - The Board of Directors of the International Entertainment Buyer's Association (ieba) has officially announced the dates of their 36th Annual Conference. iebaLIVE! 2006 is scheduled for October 15-17, 2006 at the Hilton Suites, Nashville, Tennessee. The initiative of the annual event is to bring ieba members together in an interactive and educational forum.

More than three hundred fifty registrants consisting of talent buyers, booking agents, managers and artists attended last year's iebaLIVE! with just over fifty sponsors donating their time, money and talent to boost its success. 'The 2006 conference promises to supersede all of the previous years combined! The 2006 Agenda is strong and early registration is up,' says Patti Burgart, ieba Executive Director. 'We anticipate finalizing the details of the agenda in the coming weeks.'

Making the first talent announcement official, the Board has revealed ZZ TOP as the recipient of the Living Legend Award to be presented during the 2006 Founders Award Dinner during iebaLIVE! This awards dinner is notable in that the Harry Hap Peebles Founders Award is presented. This award is presented to an ieba member of long standing who has contributed to the concept, growth, development and longevity of ieba and who has exemplified themselves in the way they have conducted their own business career. Previous recipients of the Founders Award include: Joe Guercio (2005), Bobby Baker (2004), Paul Moore (2003), Reggie Churchwell and Jerry Garren (2002), Joan Saltel (2001) and Leroy Van Dyke (2000).
