WAVE Virtual Benefit #1 – Virtual Bonus Sessions
Justin Firesheets, project manager for Church of the Highlands, will be speaking live on February 7 for our virtual LIVE bonus session. Justin’s topic is: Next Level Streaming: Cost-Effective Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Online Presence:
If churches weren’t already involved in live streaming before Covid, the pandemic season almost certainly pushed them in that direction. But now that things have stabilized, are church online strategies still as effective as they were three years ago? Are attendees still responding the same way and looking for the same things from an online experience? Technology is only a piece of the puzzle; clarifying vision and strategy is an essential first stage. In this presentation, we’ll cover critical steps churches must take as they look to take their online streaming experience to the next level.
The WAVE Virtual live bonus sessions are free to attend on February 7 and $25 to access the live sessions plus the on-demand sessions from WAVE Winter in the app through July 30, 2023.
