The Worship Audio Visual Experience!
3 Days of Education, Exhibits, Fellowship, and Worship for Production & Worship Leaders[00:00:00] If you want to upgrade your AVL knowledge, you need to check out the Wave Conference.
[00:00:04] Wave is sponsoring today's podcast and we wanted to bring on Ron Procopio, the founder
[00:00:09] of Wave to tell us a little bit more about this upcoming conference.
[00:00:13] Ron, tell us what all you have going on at the Wave Conference.
[00:00:16] Yeah, this is our third one, believe it or not, in 18 months it has been a quick rapid
[00:00:22] event, a sense as we've grown.
[00:00:24] We're going to be in Louisville, September 12th, the 14th, bringing together worship
[00:00:30] technicians, production managers, worship leaders, executive pastors and all of the teams
[00:00:37] really force medication and some exhibits.
[00:00:41] So tell us just in a few seconds, why Wave?
[00:00:44] Why should I come to Wave?
[00:00:45] Yeah, I think ultimately it's about learning what is the latest technologies, one of the ways in
[00:00:51] which we can grow our production, our engagement.
[00:00:55] I'm a big immersive fan of technology that's been something I've worked on over the years
[00:01:00] and so I believe that we can take technology to improve upon creating a really exciting
[00:01:09] experience for people, the congregation to feel more than just attend and be part of the church
[00:01:17] service and ultimately return.
[00:01:19] Yeah, I know a lot of manufacturers are going to be there so people can
[00:01:22] go and check those things out and you have some speakers.
[00:01:25] What speakers do you have?
[00:01:26] Today we just added Bill Swarin Jim.
[00:01:29] You might know him from the church tech leaders.
[00:01:32] I do.
[00:01:33] Yeah, really great guy.
[00:01:34] He's going to be doing, we're actually doing three luncheon sessions, kind of lunch in the
[00:01:38] learning.
[00:01:39] He's going to be our third one doing planning and budgeting for production improvements.
[00:01:44] We have Jason Moore who's joining us was one of our general sessions.
[00:01:49] We've got Ben Staples and Mark McDonald, the usual suspects you'd see there.
[00:01:56] We've got Dennis Choi who's joining us again this time around.
[00:02:01] It's a really star-studded panel.
[00:02:04] What's really cool is that we're bringing this to Louisville.
[00:02:06] Louis is bouncing around the country and that's intentional.
[00:02:11] We wanted to go to the different audiences.
[00:02:13] And these people that you're hearing there, the big heavy hitters that you see at the
[00:02:19] national conferences that were bringing to the local regions.
[00:02:23] Well, you forgot one important speaker and that's me.
[00:02:25] I'm sorry.
[00:02:26] I'm sorry.
[00:02:28] Yes sir, I'm excited to have you there.
[00:02:30] Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be there.
[00:02:32] I think my class is on what's the most important tech position.
[00:02:36] But man, there's lots of great speakers there, manufacturers.
