The 49th anniversary of the annual ICVM Conference will be held in Orlando, Florida, November 10-13, 2021 (Wednesday-Saturday).
Our theme for this year is Action! -- "Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed." Prov 16:3
Action! That's the word heard before every shot on a film set. It launches everything that's been planned into a reality. It's why God called us into the storytelling arena. That's what we want this Storytellers Conference to be for you! Join us!
