Meet the Conductor Presidential welcome
NCRA President Sarah Nageotte
8:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
On our way! Our TRAIN will begin its journey out of the yard with a TRAIN
overview by NCRA Director Debbie Dibble. How this “TRAIN”ing will launch your personal progress to
becoming a realtime reporter and where the tracks can lead you.
8:45 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Bells and whistles Our Hawaii TRAIN will pick up speed in the first interactive
session as our three presenters discuss everything hardware: the best computers, routers, sound devices,
tablets, antivirus, cloud backups, and recommended settings. This session will empower you to provide
the best possible realtime output, presented from the perspectives of a freelancer, an official, and a
CART/captioning provider, using a cornucopia of connection methods.
10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
Break
10:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Stay on track! Worried about driving the TRAIN yourself? Experienced TRAIN

answers are at your fingertips 24/7.

View from the Rockies Our TRAIN heads up rocky and
steep slopes as Debbie Dibble discusses the view of a terrain with no officials and the
impact that has on the entire court reporting profession. She will share with you Utah’s
experience as the state courts implemented ER, audio/video recordings are official
records of depositions, and what the world looks like five years later. What you can
and need to do now to change your future in both the official and freelance world to
increase your value to your attorneys and judges and ensure that when the question is
asked, the answer will be that the judicial system will be derailed without the
indispensable tool of the court reporter.
