Momentum is Christian Music Broadcasters’ premier LIVE, in person event in Orlando and if you have anything to do with Christian radio, YOU NEED TO BE THERE! Experience everything that Momentum has to offer - high caliber speakers, performances by your favorite artists along with networking time and so much more packed into 3 FULL days. The goal is to challenge you to think differently with great expectations of how God will use you to illuminate your community.
We know that God has great things in store, and your safety is our main priority. Even though we continue to monitor the COVID 19 guidelines, we realize that travel may not be an option this year for some, so we are making a Digital Ticket available. If we are forced to make a change, we’ve done it before and will be ready to pivot to an all virtual event. Best of all, there’s no risk in purchasing now. We are waiving the cancellation fees to give you peace of mind about registering.
ILLUMINATE (v) -
to make something visible or brighter by shining light on it; to decorate with color; to enlighten spiritually or intellectually.
As Christian music broadcasters, we have the opportunity to illuminate our hurting world through songs of hope and stories filled with encouragement. Daily, we get to inspire our listeners by sharing the story of who God is and who He has called us to be. To illuminate reminds us of the power of light, which not only drives out darkness, but makes things bright and colorful. That’s exactly what we are called to do in Christian radio.
Imagine what God will do through you and the CMB community when we all come together to experience the fullness of an industry engaged in illuminating our world with the powerful message of the Gospel, bringing out the God-colors in our world. We’re excited to be together again in person, and cannot wait to see what God continues to do through Christian radio in 2021.
"Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16 (MSG)
Momentum sets the standard of excellence for a conference. I speak all over the world, and Momentum is by far one of the best organized and produced.
Paul Jacobs
Momentum is a can’t miss! The wisdom, innovation and collaboration we garner within both the speaker sessions and simply time with each other is invaluable. Be inspired, grow as a professional and make lifelong friends – it is a win, win, win!
Niki Corbin
Momentum is the ultimate place to reconnect with industry leaders, get inspired by truly great speakers, and go deeper with individual break-out sessions. I always come back to KTIS Minneapolis with fresh ideas to share with my team. Always a highlight for me each year!
