The Munce Group's third Christian Product Expo (CPE) of the year is to be held Sept. 9-11 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville.

The CPE Invitational golf event, sponsored by Spring Arbor, will launch the members-only trade show, Sunday, Sept. 9. A Night of Worship is scheduled for later that evening, which will be followed by a FoxFaith movie premiere.

The expo floor will open Sept. 10 and several workshops will be offered then, including church bookstore training.

Comedian and author Chonda Pierce and former New Song frontman Michael O'Brien are scheduled to perform during CPE. To date, more than 150 retailers and 55 vendors have registered to attend the third CPE, Munce officials said.

The Munce Group's first two CPE Regionals had a good turnout from vendors. Seventy-seven exhibitors, representing book, music and gift publishers, attended CPE Regionals East in Hershey, Pa., Jan. 7-10. There were 70 exhibitors at CPE Regionals West, held Jan. 14-17 in Riverside, Calif., according to Munce officials.

Munce Group took over the former Evangelical Christian Publishers Association tradeshows in Hershey and Riverside when the publishers group decided to end its five annual tradeshows last year because of falling attendance.
