NRB CONVENTION
They Call Me Blessed! is featured at the 2026 National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, February 18-20, 2026.
The NRB is the world's largest international convention conference of Christian communicators.
The 4 Star Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Resort and Conference Center in Nashville, TN was host to the 2026 National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) association 's International Christian Media Convention February 17–20.
The convention featured more than 5,700 Christian media professionals—including 272 international attendees representing 43 countries outside the United States. The Gaylord Opryland is the oldest, and one of the most beautiful, of all the hotels in the Gaylord chain.
They Call Me Blessed! was one of 240 exhibits at this leading global convention and trade show for Christian communicators. Serving as booth staff alongside Inez's daughter, Carolyn, were Carolan Trbovich and Hannah Caraway. Carolan helped with set-up and manning the booth Tuesday - Thursday, while Hannah manned the booth on Friday, and helped with tear-down.
During the conference, there were countless networking opportunities. Here, Carolyn is moments away from having an interview with Johanna Vendel, CEO and Founder of The Prestigious International Hope Book Awards (https://prestigious-international-hope-book-awards.com).
This interview was one of three during the conference itself. Carolyn also received invitations from several other media personalities to interview her remotely in the weeks following the conference. In addition to media interview opportunities, Carolyn was able to connect with a broad spectrum of communication professionals on behalf of They Call Me Blessed!
The last day of the conference, Carolyn had an opportunity to talk with legendary singer, actor and songwriter, Pat Boone. Carolyn says, "Although there were countless celebrities at this convention, no one acted as though they were any more important than anyone else. The only star at NRB 2026 was JESUS!"
