A Special Thanks

Thank you for joining me at Worship Facilities Conference & Expo (WFX07) in Atlanta for my presentation "Audio Tips and Techniques for the Smaller Church" on Wednesday 24 October 2007.  It was an amazing turnout, and I'm honored.
Scroll down to see photos of some of the folks I met at WFX07.  And here's the PowerPoint file I used for the presentation:
