IASB BoardCon
Nov. 18-20, 2026
Iowa Events Center, Des Moines
BoardCon, IASB's annual convention, is set for Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026! BoardCon will start with the Opening General Session at 8 a.m. on Nov. 19 in the Grand Ballroom of the Iowa Events Center in downtown Des Moines. Once again, we're excited to make student performers a focal point of our Opening General Session. These students not only represent Iowa's tradition of musical excellence in our schools, but they set an inspiring and enthusiastic tone for the day.
Submit Student Talent Application
This year we are looking for a passionate group to perform the national anthem and three to four additional selections that will inspire our audience of Iowa school leaders. Please note, this submission is not limited to just musical groups, ALL types of student performances are encouraged to apply! Selections should include upbeat, lively numbers.
