This is a great opportunity if you are qualified, have “self-assessed” using the Candidate Handbooks, and are ready to take the CTS or CTS-I exam in a quiet, professional, secure testing center. Contact certification@infocomm.org to register. Exam appointment times are limited. *The CTS-D will not be available at InfoComm. ♦ How to Study for the CTS Exams Many people want to know about CTS test preparation. Please keep in mind that InfoComm Academy is not your only avenue for test preparation, and that, unlike the old CTS test, there is no single publication or class that will prepare you for the exam. However, InfoComm’s deep body of knowledge lends itself easily to test preparation. Click here for some suggestions on where to begin. For CTS candidates attending InfoComm 08, there is a 3-day course preceding the show, CTS Study Group, designed to help prepare for the new certification exam. For a course description, see page 13 of the 2008 Educational Catalog. To register for CTS Study Group visit www.infocommshow.org.
♦ Syn-Aud-Con Offers Training at InfoComm 08 For more than 30 years, Syn-Aud-Con has been devoted to providing practical, in-depth training on the principles of audio and acoustics. Once again, Syn-Aud-Con is offering its comprehensive audio classes to InfoComm. Don’t miss these sessions: Sound Reinforcement for Operators In this enjoyable and information-packed seminar, you'll acquire knowledge that is essential for operating a sound system. Important subjects such as microphone selection, mixer setup, and signal flow are extensively covered. The emphasis is on the practical rather than the theoretical, using real-world explanations of potentially complex subjects. Multimedia listening demonstrations drive the points home and convey a level of understanding that will help you head off problems before they occur. Sound Reinforcement for Technicians This seminar covers the theory behind how systems work, and demonstrates how to use instrumentation to look "under the hood" to troubleshoot systems. Advanced topics such a crossover adjustments and equalization are presented in a technical, yet practical manner. This course will teach you how systems work and how to fix them when they don't. The principles presented in the Technicians course are built on those discussed in the Operators course, which we recommend as a prerequisite for this seminar (although it is not required). Visit www.infocommshow.org to register today. ♦ Need Free Passes to Distribute? Free Passes allow exhibitors to offer the buyers they most want to meet FREE exhibit hall admission. Distributing Free Passes is one of the easiest, most effective methods of increasing booth traffic – yet many exhibitors just do token mailings or even worse, don’t use them at all! Research conducted by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research confirms that exhibitors who use Free Passes attract better, more qualified traffic at their booths. Furthermore, invitations from exhibitors rank as the #1 incentive for trade show attendance. Download your Free Pass Order Form and fax it back by April 11.
