Workshops and Lectures
Based on more than 25 years of college teaching, and hundreds of other presentations, I have offered single and multi-day workshops on networking, audio, audio networking, show control, and many other topics, depending on interest. I also lecture and do presentations on a variety of topics. Use the contact link for for more information or to tailor a workshop for your organization! My most popular workshop is based on my book:
Introduction to Show Networking Hands-On Workshop
This introductory, hands-on workshop, based on John Huntington’s book Introduction to Show Networking, explores the basics of networks and how they work in show systems such as lighting, sound, video, and even stage machinery. Basic networking concepts, IP addresses and assignment methods, subnet masks, general network operations and physical topologies will be introduced through lectures and explored through hands-on labs done on participants’ PC or macOS laptops. Network device control will be explored, and other topics like VLANs, simple routing and broadcast storms will be demonstrated in group exercises. This class counts for ETCP-recognized training.
Workshop Versions
I teach the same material in two workshop versions. The preferred version is the Two Day In-Person Workshop which covers the material through in-person lectures and has no pre-work requirement. Optionally, I offer a One Day In-Person Workshop with Self-Learning Pre-Work, which requires reading, watching lecture videos and other preparation in advance of a full day of hands-on, in person labs.
