Attend a QClass

Our class, called the QClass, is a three-day deep dive into all the areas of QLab: audio, video, lighting, show control, scripting, networking, and collaboration. The class is suitable for beginners, seasoned QLab expoerts, and everyone in between.

We host classes open to the public several times per year in various places, including two at our home theater in Baltimore, The Voxel. Classes will be listed here as they are scheduled, along with links to sign up.
