LUNCH & LEARN EVENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BOTH IN-PERSON AND LIVE STREAM ATTENDEES. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDEES. DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
HOW ABOUT FREE LUNCH AND LEARNING ABOUT CRITICAL CONCEPTS CENTRAL TO YOUR ROLE AS A TECHNICAL ARTIST! JOIN OUR FILO PARTNERS FOR TOPIC-SPECIFIC SESSIONS LED BY SOME OF THE INDUSTRY’S MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE VETERANS. WE’LL TAKE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES THAT WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ENHANCED KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS, AND A FULL STOMACH!
This Lunch & Learn provides a clear, educational overview of networked audio, loudspeaker fundamentals, and modern sound system design principles. The session explores how audio signals move through networked systems, how loudspeaker coverage and directivity impact intelligibility, and how system components work together to deliver predictable, high-quality results.
Attendees will also examine emerging trends and future technologies shaping professional audio, including evolving network standards, system scalability, and software-driven workflows. Real-world examples—drawing on system approaches used by d&b audiotechnik—connect core theory to practical application across a wide range of worship environments.
Live production is complex. It doesn’t have to be chaotic. See how automations, recurring scheduling, one-click go-live, and AI-powered optimization and clip creation reduce weekly workload — so your team can focus less on tedious tasks and more on Kingdom impact.
Live audio consoles are simply computers with fancy controls. Knowing how to interface with a particular console is vital to success in mixing, and this class is designed to help you achieve flow and confidence behind the board. By explaining the purpose, function, and operation of each section, you will be able to improve your mixes significantly. In addition, we will cover the various approaches manufacturers take when designing consoles and compare them to give you the insight needed to select the best one for your situation.
LED displays have become a huge part of the story we’re telling. Join THOR: AV and a panel of technical creatives for a candid conversation about the system-level decisions that shape creative outcomes, as we unpack execution questions that aren’t always intuitive.
Should your playback workflow function like busking or like a fully programmed show? What role does timecode play? How do you integrate live video into background content without compromising flexibility? Where does latency actually show up—and when does it matter? How do you handle 16:9 content on unconventional canvases? And when you’re driving multiple displays, where should signal routing live: at the switcher, in a screen manager, inside the processor, or within a media server? How do decisions like these help—or hinder—your overall creative capabilities?
Bring your questions, challenges, and perspectives. This session is designed to be a shared conversation where we learn from one another.
The launch date is set. The pressure is real.
New campuses don’t struggle because of vision. They struggle because of execution. In this session, we’ll show how early, right-sized AVL decisions, standardized systems, and scalable staffing structures turn urgency into intentional, consistent excellence from day one.
Hosted by WAVE, this conversation explores the value of having an integration partner who walks with you from concept through launch and beyond, delivering smart system design, remote support, and sustainable workflows that keep every Sunday smooth and momentum strong.
If your Sunday service depends on one person, you don’t have a system, you have a dependency. This session will explore practical ways to design AVL environments that deliver excellence without requiring a “hero” to run them. We’ll cover simplifying workflows, building guardrails for volunteers, and creating documentation. You’ll leave with a volunteer-readiness scorecard and a one-page runbook template to help ensure your ministry thrives, no matter who is at the helm.
What sounds great in the room often doesn’t translate online. Learn how to build a dedicated live stream mix, monitor it remotely, and make stream specific adjustments during the service without investing in new hardware or rebuilding your system. Led by BoxCast CEO, Gordon Daily, you’ll see how churches are delivering clearer, more engaging online worship experiences with Mixing Station Anywhere.
In today’s fast‑moving world of church production and ministry, staying ahead means being able to adapt quickly. In this Lunch & Learn, you’ll discover how network‑deployed systems, cloud‑based, and cellular wireless solutions make it easy to keep up with ever‑changing production communication needs.
This season, we’ll send short, soul-filling encouragements to help you pause, breathe, and refocus on the One this is all about. You’re doing holy work, but you’re not meant to do it on empty. Let this be your reminder to slow down and spend a few quiet moments with Jesus. You need it—and you deserve it.
