Thomas Nelson has announced the dates for its second "Open House" for Christian retailers. The all-expenses-paid event will be held April 13-15, 2009, in Nashville.

Invitations describe the program as "three days of encouragement and discussion," with "industry experts, top authors and Nelson executives." The event is intended "to provide a forum for honest feedback from Christian retailers and media, develop deeper, more beneficial relationships and affirm our commitment to the Christian retail channel."

Nelson will cover airfare, hotel and meals for invitees. The company invited its top 100 accounts to its first Open House this spring-after deciding not to participate in CBA Advance, which was subsequently cancelled in favor of a smaller Industry Conference, which took place in February.

Nelson also skipped CBA's International Christian Retail Show in July, but the company plans to attend the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's Christian Book Expo, debuting in Dallas, March 20-22, 2009.
