The College Music Journal's (CMJ) annual Music Marathon returns to the campus of New York University the week of October 21-25, 2008. CMJ’s Music Marathon is the largest and longest-running music industry event of its kind, drawing thousands of music fans and industry professionals and taking place at more than 50 venues in New York City.  In addition to performances by new artists from multiple music genres, the festival includes film premieres, panel discussions, keynote speeches, and a continuing legal education symposium.
On April 2, 2008, NYU Steinhardt’s Music Business Program presented Irwin Z. Robinson with its first Visionary Award.  The award honors a business figure for his or her “lasting impact on the music industry through innovative, effective, and creative business leadership.”

Barely one year old, NYU’s student chapter of the Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association (MEIEA) made a big splash at the annual conference this spring by winning the 2008 National MEISA Marketing Contest.
