TRAINING IN OHIO Hello All ! Are you always griping about there never being enough training - especially if you're not an ASC ? Here's the answer to your needs. NesdaOhio is hosting a Weekend of Training in Hudson, Ohio (halfway between Cleveland and Akron) at the end of September. This is especially needed now that the Kinescope is heading the way of the Dinosaurs and DoDo Birds. That statement was made by almost every manufacturer at the Nesda National Convention recently held in Reno. In just a very few years there will be almost NO TV's produced with Kinescopes. What will replace them? Well a variety of products: LCD's, Light Engines, DLP, Plasma, and LCOS. Yeah, some new stuff to learn about, and you can get in on the ground floor at the NesdaOhio Weekend O'Training. Six Manufacturers have agreed to send their Finest Trainers to Ohio and present classes on these very subjects. Two classes a day for three days on cutting edge, state-of-the-art Technology, that will definitely change the way we think about Television. LOOK AT THIS LINEUP THURSDAY Sept 25 AM... Philips LCOS PM... Hitachi DP3X HDTV FRIDAY Sept 26 AM...Thomson DLP PM...Zenith LDC TV SATURDAY Sept 27 AM...Toshiba N3PSP PTV PM... Sencore Introductions to Audio and Video Calibrations The Sencore Class promises to be interesting. You may have read discussion about the ISF/HAA calibrations on the service forums and wondered if that's something that you should get into as part of your business. Sencore will present a "short version" of these procedures so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to take their week-long calibration class. Many have found it to be a new business opprotunity, and many have not. Now you can decide. The rest of the classes speak for themselves. A variety of New - Emerging technology that WILL change our business. Not all of these formats will survive, but YOU will be able to get a leg up on all of them to help you during these "Shakeout" years, so that YOU will be a survivor. If you want to learn these skills, We invite you to come to this training. You need Not be a Nesda member to attend, although there IS a discount for Nesdamembers. You get all 3 days for $79(member) $89(non-member). It will be at the Hudson, Ohio Holiday Inn. About 500 yards North of the Ohio Turnpike exit 180 (old exit 12) on State Rt.8. There is a special Nesda room rate if you're staying at the hotel - you have to make your own hotel reservation, it's not part of the registration fee. If you're too cheap to stay at the Holiday Inn, there's a Motel 6 & Knight's inn about 3 miles farther north. Bring the family & make it a mini-vacation. There's lots to do in the area while You're packing Your brain. If you're flying in (and we've received registrations from both coasts of the country, already) You can fly into the Big Cleveland-Hopkins airport, or the smaller Akron-Canton Regional airport. The Holiday Inn is about halfway between them. I'm looking forward to this Weekend - I've already sent in MY registration since it's limited by room size to the first 60 applicants. Hurry & get YOURS in so that you're not #61 and standing there with your nose pressed to the window - looking in from the outside. Go to the NesdaOhio website www.nesda-ohio.com There's more information about the event there. Print the registration form, and mail it with your check to Ron Purkhiser at the address on the form. I hope to see you there - Look for ME sitting in the Front Row ! Questions?
