Proclaim 16 boasts an expo of 200 exhibiting companies this year, and will feature an interactive exhibit by the Museum of the Bible, which will document the history of the Bible and all of the challenges it has endured.
"Thousands of Christian communicators come to our annual convention to find the connections, resources, and insights that will help them advance their organizations, their careers, and their mission," NRB President Jerry A. Johnson said in a statement shared with The Christian Post.
Among the thousands expected to attend the yearly event are pastors, ministry staff members, church media professionals, Christian news media outlets, filmmakers, social media managers, educators, and students.
