2019 Awards Presentations
The awards will be presented at TAB’s Annual Convention & Trade Show, Aug. 7-8 at the JW Marriott Downtown Austin.
The event outgrew its longstanding home at the Renaissance Hotel in the northwest sector of the city, and the new location downtown will provide top-caliber meeting facilities, a larger exhibit facility and immediate access to popular music and dining spots in the “Live Music Capital of the World.”
TAB’s Convention Planning Committee is developing the program for station owners, managers, sales teams and engineers now.
Members are encouraged to submit their program suggestions by March 1.
