And for serious audiophiles, consider attending one of Syn-Aud-Con's Sound System Seminars.
| Many people end up operating the sound, video, and lighting systems at their local church because they felt they could help and no one else volunteered. Others can't dream of being anywhere else on Sunday morning except in the tech booth at church. Whether you're at either one of these ends or somewhere in between, L.E.S. offers an annual training conference in Phoenix, Arizona geared toward helping the church tech operator improve his or her skills. We understand what it is like to operate the tech systems, many of you by yourselves, week after week. This provides a cost-effective way to interact with others just like yourself and learn from the professionals some of the tricks to make your job easier. |
