How many times do we tech people show up at a conference or major event and we make a b-line for the tech booth. It’s OK to admit, I do it too. We wonder what kind of console are they using? Is it ProPresenter or MediaShout? What about the lighting board, is it a standard two scene board or is it the Grand Daddy of all smart boards? It’s a very natural reaction, more intelligent then moths to a light, but still something subconscious about it.

Let the #Echo10 conference begin!
Yesterday was a long day of travel, but we made it without complication.
I’m over at Watermark Church early in hopes to meet up with some people before things get under way and maybe take minute to look over the schedule of events and decide on some breakouts that I want to attend. There are so many awesome speakers here I don’t know which ones to choose.
Stay tuned for some awesome updates of Echo Conference 2010!
You are all GURUS of TECH
Last year I had the opportunity to attend the first Gurus of Tech East held at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville KY. The gang from the Church Tech Talk vodcast had this crazy idea that they could hold a small get together similar to the Gurus Gathering at NAB. I call them crazy for many reasons but mostly because they expected 25 to 50 people to show up and when the day finally came the roster had topped 300. It was an amazing time of sharing and teaching from both the stage and the floor.
And that is one of the things I liked most about the Gurus of Tech; everyone has something to share and everyone is invited to share.
So who should be going? According to the website:
Gurus brings together producers, directors, creative team members, Photoshop pros, shooters, Final Cut masters, FOH engineers, lighting directors, wireless techs, stage managers and more. They just happen to work in a church, like you. They come because they have a heart for service and a passion for the work.
Last year I took a team of media producers, camera techs, stage managers and sound techs. Everyone came back energized and motivated to grow their ministry. It didn’t matter what sessions they sat in on, they were energized and pumped to see our teams do more.
This year I hope to take a bus load of people. This is such an amazing event that will grow and inspire your team and you cant beat the price… FREE!
You could spend hundreds of dollars on conferences throughout the year and not get as much spiritual and intellectual feeding as you will get at Gurus.
I challenge all of you to pack up your team, staff and volunteers and head to Louisville this summer for the best technology and media conference on the planet.
