by | Aug 11, 2022 | Church Facilities Expo, Production

Every year the Church Facilities Expo (CFX) presents two days of workshops and seminars regarding church production, leadership, and facilities maintenance. This year’s offerings, co-sponsored by Worship Facility are better than ever. For the next three weeks, we’ll take a look at what you can expect, starting this week with the Production Track.

Pre-conference masterclass

For the first time, pre-conference masterclasses will be available on the day before CFX officially begins, October 24. The Production Masterclass will be “Next Level Livestreaming,” hosted by Tim Adams. The session will be an intensive workshop geared towards the church that wants to go deeper with their livestreaming broadcast. Information will cover the specifics of how to go from basic to advanced with your livestream, including audio, lighting, camera angles, software, and more.
