They all attended a special student session on the USITT show floor after hours called &quot;Ask ETC.&quot; Doug Tuttrup, a long-time project manager at ETC has held this workshop for several years and we had a record crowd this time! Thanks for coming students!</p><p>The session allows students to ask the questions they don&#39;t always get to ask. How do you develop new products? What kinds of internships do you offer? What&#39;s new for the Source Four? My personal favorites; &quot;Why did my console crash?&quot; &quot;Can you teach me to be a moving light programmer?&quot; &quot;Do you have international opportunities available?&quot; &quot;Why does Eos have ethernet on the desk - but no DMX?&quot;</p><p>These guys come up with some pretty tough questions! </p><p>&nbsp;<img height="320" hspace="10" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/dlincecum/USITT2007/PICT0005.jpg" style="width:240px;height:320px;" width="240" /></p><p>Everyone got to stick around afterwards for private demos on the ETC booth!&nbsp;</p><p>ETC is glad to be supporting students and having students working and learning at ETC. Thanks again for a great session and thanks Doug for keeping this effort alive!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.etcconnect.com/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=586" width="1" height="1">USITT 2007Student sessionDoug tuttruphttp://www.etcconnect.com/Community/blogs/davidlincecumsbrain/archive/2007/03/15/575.aspxThu, 15 Mar 2007 17:39:00 GMTa7ac4d8e-197b-4214-ba03-8caf86a3094c:575dlincecum0<p>Nothing like a trade show to test your patience and willingness to persevere!</p><p>This morning we went from this</p><p><img height="240" hspace="10" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/dlincecum/USITT2007/PICT0006.jpg" style="width:320px;height:240px;" width="320" /></p><p>&nbsp;<img height="240" hspace="10" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/dlincecum/USITT2007/PICT0007.jpg" style="width:320px;height:240px;" width="320" /></p><p>To This</p><p>&nbsp;<img height="240" hspace="10" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/dlincecum/USITT2007/PICT0009.jpg" style="width:320px;height:240px;" width="320" /></p><p>In 1 hour!</p><p>Yes - late breaking software mean&#39;t relabelling some buttons on the new Smartfade ML desks on the booth. </p><p><img height="320" hspace="10" src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/dlincecum/USITT2007/PICT0008.jpg" style="width:240px;height:320px;" width="240" />&nbsp;</p><p>Fortunately we have capable product managers and sales people!</p><p>The traditional student rush went as expected.
