Recently, nearly 250 ETC end users arrived in Madison, Wisconsin, for the fourth
Create Understand Experience (CUE) conference – a professional development
conference hosted by ETC every other summer.
This year’s classes were organised into one- and two-day-long tracks so that
attendees would have a more immersive, educational experience. Tracks focused on
technicians, educators, general system networking, designing a better theatre, and
Eos console programming. The typical daily class schedule was enhanced this summer
with optional Saturday evening classes. With so many opportunities for hands-on
learning, it’s no wonder that reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.
Several of the courses throughout the weekend required prerequisite console training
and quiz completion, making for a more advanced option to the conference than in
the past. Many other courses offered ETCP continuing education credit upon
completion.
While it may seem like a lot of work, there was also plenty of time to play. The entire
CUE event took on a Summer Camp theme which brought with it some
uncharacteristic event details. There were badges to collect for completed tasks
throughout the weekend, impromptu Camp CUE sing-alongs at the registration desk,
and s’mores roasting at the Friday evening picnic event.
When asked to describe one main takeaway from the event, a CUE attendee says:
“This should be required for technicians everywhere. There are too many benefits to
list.’
Keynote addresses by vice president of marketing at ETC, David Lincecum, were
recorded live and can be found at www.etcconnect.com/CUE/Videos/<
