Governor's Wisconsin Educationl Technology Conference
NSC was an exhibitor at The Governor's Wisconsin Educational Technology Conference. The conference was held at the beautiful Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in the Wisconsin Dells. The Kalahari just happens to have the largest indoor water park in the United States. The hotel is decorated in an African style. The event consisted of workshops, conferences, and exhibits designed to help attendees incorporate technology into their classrooms and their schools. IT and technology staff from schools all over the state were in attendance. Everything from computers, learning software, and smart boards to audio/video systems were exhibited by the various companies at the show. Roger Ihde from NSC was able to talk with existing NSC clients, meet potential new clients, and network with some manufacturer's representatives while manning the booth at the event. Attendees registered to win a free wireless microphone compliments of the NSC team.

Church and Change Worship Conference
The first of it's kind, Church and Change Worship Conference was held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in De Pere, WI. The church showcases state-of-the-art sound and video projection systems installed by NSC. Phillip Boileau of St. Mark's organized the multiple day event that included two contemporary Christian music concerts with praise bands from California, Minnesota, and two groups from St. Mark's. The conference and concerts were well received with over 170 registered attendees for the presentations, and more than 300 people per night for the concerts.

The conference was designed to help churches start a contemporary worship service or refine their current services, by supplying them with information on everything from how to introduce contemporary worship to the congregation, music, Power Point software, and the technologies that are available. Roger Ihde, sales manager/designer for NSC, presented available sound and video projection equipment and technologies as tools for a contemporary worship. Roger also played the guitar in the praise band from St. Mark's on Thursday night. NSC was honored to be a part of the conference and was delighted to be able to provide direction for the churches that attended, as well as expertise for the concerts.
