2026 SBC Annual Meeting
app available now
ORLANDO (BP) — The official app for the 2026 SBC Annual Meeting is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. The app is a must-download for meeting goers as they navigate the meeting, luncheons, the exhibit hall and more. An in-app local area map will help messengers navigate The City Beautiful when they venture outside the convention center. While getting to convention events on time is up to the messenger, the app has all the details and directions to get them where they need to be. The app also allows quick access to annual meeting related news as well as stories on the candidates who have announced they will be nominated for SBC offices. The pastors’ conference has a separate app that will be released closer to the meeting date. The SBC Annual Meeting is set for June 7-10 at the Orange County Convention Center.
