Brandt Krueger, our April featured speaker has technology in his DNA. Part presentation, partworkshop, part "town hall", this session will be a frank discussion of audiovisual and event
technology. What was once on everybody's "hot list" is now commonplace, or even expected
at our events, and what was once bleeding-edge technology has come of age. On the otherhand, new toys and technologies are coming at us at an almost unprecedented speed. How is
the savvy planner able to decide what technology is right for them? We'll talk old-school andnew-school technology, what works, and how to implement it at your events in a way thatmakes sense. Bring your toughest AV and event technology questions!

goal setting and life skills training that will enable them to take care of themselves andachieve their full potential. Women are dependent when they come in…independent whenthey leave.
Since 2000, Maria House has provided transitional housing, where residents can stay for as long as two years. In 2006,
we opened Teresa Shelter. It offers extended stay housing, as well as short-term emergency shelter services. Bothshelters provide a safe place for all women and children who find themselves homeless due to circumstances beyond theircontrol.
