WHERE: Providence Church; 1432 Lovell Road, Knoxville, TN

Here's what people just like you have said about my training:
"You helped me solve an issue I had with the countdown to time function. Turns out that I'd been inputing the time wrong. So silly, so simple, but I just could not figure it out until I watched your video. Thanks!"
-Paula P.
"Thanks for this… Now I know more about what this stuff means :) Now to try things out! Very informative and easy to understand, cheers!"
-Andreas A.
"Paul has some great tutorials you can follow. He explains it all so well."
-Mary-Ann F.
Hurry, though, seating is limited and this class will probably SELL OUT before it starts.
Quick heads up: the $100/$50 coupon discount (codes 2611KTChurch and 2611KTSingle) expires October 13, earlier than the bonus deadline below. Grab your seat now to stack both.
One and a half days in a room with me is going to change how your team runs ProPresenter, BUT I don't want you walking out with just training. I want you walking out with everything you need to actually use it every weekend!
Here's what's included with your ticket, no matter when you register:
FIVE of my own motion graphics, ready to drop straight into your library. These aren't stock loops; they're not available anywhere else. They're graphics I've actually made and used. Skip the hours hunting stock sites, skip the cost of hiring a designer, just import them and go.
My personal notes from the class. Everything I teach you across the weekend, written down and handed to you. So when the weekend hits, you're not relying on memory.
That's the standing offer. Every person who buys a ticket gets both, full stop.
BONUS: Here's the part that's only around until October 30th!
Register before then, and I'll also throw in the ProPresenter New User's Survival Sheet, the exact cheat sheet I built to get a brand-new volunteer running a full Sunday service solo. Hand it to whoever's next in line to run the booth, and they're ready before they've even sat through a full training.
After October 30th, the Survival Sheet goes away. The motion graphics and the notes are yours either way.
REGISTER BEFORE OCTOBER 30TH & LOCK IN YOUR BONUS
