Connecting in the CloudThe Connecting in the Cloud series is an opportunity to come together in an informal, online setting to discuss challenges you're facing everyday. Registered members will participate in a facilitated brainstorming session around a specified topic, similar to an interest group but without the geographical challenges. Upcoming EventsTechnicians, join us for a new series of Connecting in the Cloud, just for you! These sessions will be roundtable-type discussions where you can share your experience with fellow technicians. We're hoping to create a place for you to learn from each other, improve your skills, and help new folks entering the AV world get up to speed.
Jim Spencer from the University of Notre Dame and Kayden Kassof from American University will lead the first installment of this series where we'll talk about TOOLS! What's your favorite tool and why? What do you keep in your tool kit? Are there testers or other specialized equipment you use regularly that really helps you out?
Come meet other technicians from around the country for a lively chat on Thursday, April 22 at 11am Eastern. Be sure to register through CCUMC to receive the Zoom meeting link.
The Professional Development Committee looks forward to seeing you there!
