What is the NRB Convention & Exposition?

The NRB Annual Convention & Exposition is the largest nationally and internationally recognized event dedicated to assist, train and network professionals in Christian communications. The convention is a "must attend " on the broadcast industry's calendar, serving as the best way to meet with and speak directly to top management in Christian communications.

The acclaimed Exposition, featuring nearly 300 companies, is an active marketplace of tools and services to expand and enhance your ministry. It’s worth more than one visit!

Whether you are a broadcaster, media pastor, program producer or other communications professional, the breadth and depth of opportunities of the convention will provide you and your staff with the skills and knowledge required to overcome the daily challenges you face. These opportunities include intensive Boot Camps, vital educational sessions, inspiring keynote addresses and ministry from internationally known speakers and artists, the peer-driven Innovation Exchange, the crucial leading-edge information found in the award-winning Exposition, and the ever-expanding Job Fair.

Education and Training

We are continually developing the pages under Education, so make sure you bookmark that section. NRB’s Boot Camps are all-day, intensive, hands-on training sessions that delve into major categories of interest to the industry. Additionally, the convention presents more than 40 educational sessions on Monday and Tuesday that promise to challenge you and send you home with ideas that will change the way you work.

The NRB TECH LAB!

NRB Tech Lab moves down to the exhibit floor in 2006.  Take advantage of the hands on equipment presentations from companies like Ross Video, Grass Valley, Sony, Apple, Cannon, and many others.

No one brings together equipment manufactures for side-by-side demonstrations like you will see in the NRB TECH LAB!

See side-by-side comparisons of cameras, video editing suites, and other system components that will enhance your own facility and bring you up to par with today’s demanding production requirements. This lab will help you make the best choices for your media production.  In the words of a leading ad campaign…it’s priceless!
