What:
Our presenter will be Erik Utter, President of Utter Systems.


Erik Utter is the founder and principal of Utter Systems, Inc., a Seattle-based media systems integration firm specializing in broadcast, corporate, and OTT media environments. With more than 25 years of experience in engineering, design, and integration, Erik has led projects for many of the most respected Pacific Northwest broadcasters and creative organizations, including KEXP, KING-FM, KNKX, and All Classical Radio [KQAC]. Known for his thoughtful approach to workflow design and his commitment to owner-led excellence, Erik combines deep technical expertise with a collaborative, client-first philosophy that has earned him national recognition—including an Emmy® Award for his work with NBC at the Olympic Games.
At this month’s Chapter meeting, Erik will present “Important Considerations for Your Next Studio Project.” Drawing from decades of experience designing and integrating media production and broadcast facilities, Erik will share valuable lessons learned from recent projects and explore what separates successful projects from challenging ones. Gain practical insight into workflow-first design, project management strategies, and how to maximize technical and creative return on investment—especially when budgets and timelines are tight. Because most engineers and managers have few chances in their careers to plan and build new studios, Erik’s presentation will highlight the key steps that ensure these opportunities deliver lasting performance, flexibility, and performance. He’ll also provide a look at current trends shaping the next generation of broadcast technology and facility design.
The meeting will be held at All Classical Radio’s new Media Arts Center, once the home of KOIN Center Cinema, is a brand-new state-of-the-art facility that carries on the tradition of creating a community around the arts in downtown Portland. From the third floor of KOIN Tower, All Classical Radio continues to share beautiful music and hand-crafted programming reaching listeners locally in the Pacific Northwest, across the United States, and in 100+ countries around the world.
