NRB 2025: Where International Connections Propel Christian Media Forward

The NRB International Christian Media Convention has long been an international meeting place for Christian communicators, and NRB 2025 promises to continue this legacy by providing unparalleled opportunities for global connection and collaboration.

Tim Whitehead, director of Galcom International, underscored the significance of the Convention for his ministry. With a few dozen projects going on at any given time, Galcom relies on the annual Convention to meet their various partners from around the world face to face.

“That is why the NRB Convention is such a vital event for us: all of our partners in one place at the same time,” he explained. “We simply couldn’t do what we do without the NRB.”
