The Black Gospel Blog’s Bob Marovich attended the National and Independent Gospel Music Association (NIGMA) Industry Summit in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend (March 13-16).  He presented on “Establishing A Media Presence” Saturday morning.

Congratulations to NIGMA President Pastor Kris Jackson, to the NIGMA Board and volunteers, to the artists and presenters, Dr. Mark Rogers and the Rhythm of Gospel Awards team, and the Village Church (host facility) for a fun and inspiring weekend uplifting independent gospel artists.

Remember: every gospel artist was once an independent artist.  Next year’s Industry Summit will take place in Dallas, Texas.
