Building A Better Sound For Worship: Understanding Your Room Before Upgrading Your PA

We’ve all chased the holy grail of “just add more speakers” only to end up with a louder version of the same muddy mess because your sanctuary’s acoustics don’t care how high end those new boxes are. In this Lunch & Learn, we’ll geek out on why your room is the real boss by bringing in the pros for a live Q&A panel featuring experts from d&b audiotechnik, a veteran acoustician, and a lead designer of custom acoustic installations to prove it. Join us and find out why getting a proper acoustical analysis should come before you ever crack open that shiny new d&b catalog.

Cinematic Broadcasts: Production That Brings People Into the Room

Most worship broadcasts show people what’s happening. The best ones make them feel like they’re actually there. The difference isn’t budget, it’s intention. In this session, Chad Vegas breaks down what it takes to build a cinematic worship broadcast: how a service gets called, camera techniques that capture what’s really happening, and how to build a production culture that serves your congregation and your online audience. You’ll walk away with real, practical techniques you can put into action this Sunday.

From Burnout to Buy-In: Leading Volunteers Who Stay

Volunteers are the backbone of every ministry — especially in tech, where skill, creativity, and reliability actually matter. Recruiting is hard, training takes time, and losing great people is exhausting. This session cuts through the fluff and shows you how to build a culture that keeps volunteers engaged for the long haul. You’ll walk away with practical leadership shifts that reduce burnout, strengthen your team, and make serving something people want to keep doing. If you lead a church tech team, this is about building people — not just filling positions.
