TARGET AUDIENCE
Church technical and facilities managers, leaders of church ministries, pastors and AV operators from Malaysia and within Southeast Asia region.
PURPOSE
The significance of the worshipper’s journey cannot be overstated. Their experience is paramount, as it is what leads to fulfilment and receptivity to the divine message.
Central to crafting this experience are the Audio Visual solutions seamlessly integrated into the worship space. Yet, the efficacy of these tools in shaping the worship experience ultimately rests in the hands of the operators. Thus, it becomes imperative for technical or facility managers, pastors, and worship leaders to make informed decisions regarding the implementation of appropriate AV solutions even before they are utilized by operators.
This two-day event is dedicated to addressing and disseminating essential insights for selecting and implementing optimal AV systems tailored to enhance worship services.
