Major Media Conference Chooses Birmingham For 2023 Event

BIRMINGHAM, AL — The National Association of Black Journalists announced the Board of Directors’ selections for the host cities of the association's National Convention & Career Fair for 2023 through 2026, and Birmingham was chosen for the organization's 2023 convention.

The site selection review process concluded in early October after site visits to the seven finalist cities, chosen by the Board, were completed. NABJ received multiple proposals from cities across the country. The review process included a multi-city tour conducted by a special NABJ delegation. The tour stops included hotel and venue visits, engagement with local NABJ and community members and meetings with local convention and visitor bureaus.

"This year, NABJ celebrated a record-breaking convention in the Miami metropolitan area and we are committed to duplicating and adding to that successful formula," said President Dorothy Tucker. "After thoughtful research, review and dialogue, our Board decided that these cities offer the environment, resources and partnerships that are needed to not only take our conventions to the next level but support the expectations of our attendees."

Previously announced convention cities include Washington, D.C. in 2020, Houston in 2021 and Las Vegas in 2022.
