NRB 2011 Looks At Social Media, Social Issues

NRB 2011 In Nashville

NRB 2011 moved into full swing on SATURDAY (2/26) in at the GAYLORD OPRYLAND HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER in NASHVILLE.

Saturday Super Session

SATURDAY SUPER SESSION came in two parts featuring MARK RAMSEY and REY MENA. In "Part A," ALL ACCESS contributor RAMSEY gave the presentation "SOCIAL MEDIA ROCKS OLD SCHOOL MEDIA" in which he directed attendees to co-create with their users and engage them in the presence of one's brand. "Let them play in your sandbox," he said.

In "Part B" NRB first-timer MENA spoke on "Building a Sound Digital Strategy" and encouraged attendees to develop a digital strategy to reach both the faithful and the disconnected.  "FACEBOOK is about personal endorsement plus broadcast," said MENA as he instructed attendees to empower people with the right content though appropriate new media channels.

Saturday Evening Session

JAY SEKULOW, Chief Counsel for AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE, reflected on his life in light of being the grandson of RUSSIAN immigrant and shared stories from his work that afforded him the opportunity to be a witness to the gospel spread around the world.  In his closing he issued the call: "As AMERICANS, we can be a beacon of hope, a light on a hill, in a place where the gospel goes forth, to maintain justice and freedom and never surrender our rights under the CONSTITUTION."
