About austinTech.org:

We are a loosely organized group of Church Technical people from churches all over central Texas who meet several times a year to help each other out, share ideas and get to know others who do what you do. This is a great place for church tech staff and volunteers, from all levels and backgrounds, to gather and share what they know and to learn how they can go the next step in their ministry. We only grow if you will reach out and invite someone! If you know of someone in the technical ministries at another church, don’t assume they already know about this meeting! Get a hold of them and bring them with you!
Over the years this group has blessed many church media & tech volunteers and helped improve their ministry through learning, encouragement and ideas. To facilitate this:
•    Meetings / fellowships will be held every month on the last THURSDAY or FRIDAY of the month.
•    We will incorporate more training and new product sessions into every meeting where possible or practical.  We will be inviting manufacturers and reps to show us equipment and tools that we can use in our ministries, offer training sessions thru manufacturers and outside consultants, trainers and media ministry leaders.
•    We will only have church facility tours at some of the meetings,  other meetings will be much more focused on training and equipment.
•    Will will try to have something for everyone covering as many areas of church media and technology as possible – Audio / Video / Lighting / Projection as well as graphic arts and other areas.
