The House of Worship Sector: Effective Ways to Communicate with Church Leaders

The speaker travels worldwide to consult with churches, organizations, and governments. The House of Worship market is one of the largest purchasing sectors of new communication technologies in the US. Church leaders are grounded in their respective belief systems, but few have significant financial or technological backgrounds. Relationship building is an important component for systems integrators to understand, especially in the local church setting. Church leaders are also trying to make sense of the numerous communication technologies available. How can we as systems integrators facilitate the adoption process for church leaders? How can we help church leaders understand and adopt communication technologies that can help them create a shared experience with the diverse groups of people often found in local church settings? This 90-minute session will address these and related issues.
