The intensive, five-day workshop will feature four highly experienced instructors - Adrian Forbes-Black (Vice-President of TOMCAT USA), Keith Bohn (Business Development Director of TOMCAT USA), Jeff Reder (Principal and Partner of Clark-Reder Engineering) and Eric Rouse (EPS) - who will cover a wide range of truss and rigging subjects. 

You’ll receive an extensive amount of valuable information and training on aluminum truss, truss engineering and its use in outdoor structures, ANSI Entertainment Technology standards, structural reports and operational documentation, ground support systems, rigging principles, and fall protection systems, among others. The maximum ETCP training credits are available for qualified attendees.
