What People Are Saying

I can't speak highly enough of both Dan Bowater and the Church Sound and Media Summit. It never gets old or boring, is highly relevant and is an oasis of resource for the UK church tech teams. There's no hype, everything has weight and substance. Attend, support, spread the word, bring your team. You won't regret it!

Dan Meakin - Freelance engineer - Sound Trainer

Church Sound Summit has quickly become the essential conference for those involved in church audio.

Catering for all experience levels, it combines technical advice, practical demonstrations, supportive talks and worship - and lots of fun and fellowship.

I ve found the Summit to be an excellent opportunity to learn, develop skills and share time with others.

— Simon Lewis - Former Lead Audio lecturer Derby University

“I’ve known Dan for a few years now and have found these past 3 years where Dan has put on TCSS to be a great place to meet and share with others from around the country who are involved with live sound as part of their church. Dans heart for bringing people together in this way just comes across so clearly. If you’re involved in anyway with live sound in your church or a Christian in this industry, then I can’t recommend enough to book your ticket and come along.” — John-Marc Swansbury -New Addington, The Salvation Army
