Bringing a Voice Recorder to Conferences: Is It Allowed?

[Chozengirl]

are we allowed to take a voice/tape recorder to conference?
I am a HUGE note taker, but it would help alot if I could take a voice recorder and record my classes.

Good question. I'd like to know too. My DH bought me one for Christmas to say my ideas into, practice show stuff, etc. Would be nice to use for conference if I can.

I don't think you're allowed to bring voice recorders to the workshop sessions, because they have a company who professionally records and sells CDs from conference workshops every year.

One thing that helped me a lot last year was getting a collapsible keyboard for my PDA. I was able to type all of my notes (I type faster than I write) and save them on word documents on my PDA, and then I was able to share all of my conference notes with all of my cluster afterwards.

One of the NC communications says that you are not allowed to record the workshops or general sessions.

THAT SUCKS!
Just because I would like to put my own thoughts, etc. on notes and still referense exactly what I just heard.
My pastor records his teachings, and I have noticed that I get all jacked up if it isn't the same service I went to, because things are said in different sessions.

You can purchase a CD of the mp3s of a recording of one of every class at conference...I believe it is less than $30.

It seems most workshops give out pre-fab handouts, so taking your own notes alongside that shouldn't be too difficult.
