With just days left until NRB 2022, we want to bring you up-to-date on the most important convention information to know before you go, including lodging, transportation, meals, attire, and more. (And if you’re still deciding whether to attend NRB 2022, we answer your questions below!)
Where is NRB 2022?
The Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center (2800 Opryland Drive, Nashville, TN 37214) is the home of all NRB 2022 events! Gaylord Opryland is located just outside of “Music City,” and just 10 minutes from Nashville International Airport (BNA).
Do I need a full registration to come to NRB 2022?
No! Choose the registration tier that provides exactly what you’re looking for HERE.
While full registration offers you premiere access to Forums and plenary sessions with top names in the industry, you can also register for the exposition floor only, full convention for a single day, or Expo Plus, which includes all NRB Talks and Workshops, Pitch-a-Thon, and more. ALL of these options are packed with opportunities to network with like-minded media pros, meet your next clients, and strategize for the future.
If you are attending NRB as an exhibitor, your Exhibitor registration is the equivalent of a full registration and allows you access to all non-ticketed events.
Who will I meet if I just come to the Expo?
Broadcasters, publishers, ministries, advocates, and so many more. Browse the full exhibitor list here and Featured Exhibitor Stage schedule here!
