The intent of this training is to provide skills necessary to set up and operate audio systems in a breakout room setting. The attendees will have taken AV Essentials which provides the fundamental skills in audio for a breakout room or will have equivalent experience. The format of the class will be lecture with participation encouraged and hands on. Each of the two days will start out with lecture at the beginning of the day and hands on subsequently. The target audience for this class is AV technicians who want to set up and operate break out rooms. Some breakout rooms are very simple and AV Essentials instruction is adequate for those scenarios. This class focuses on the more complex situations often found in breakout rooms.

The objective of the class is that the attendees will have a grasp of the breadth of knowledge needed to set up and operate sound in a breakout room. The instruction sequence will be to present the information needed first through lecture and demonstration. Utilize activities to acquaint the attendees with the equipment involved. Lastly, to perform the tasks necessary. The training will be a success if we are able to supplement our pool of qualified breakout room technicians.
