ETCP Certifiable News: Winter 2021 |

Earn ETCP continuing education renewal credits by attending the virtual 2021 New World Rigging Symposium. Learn more at https://www.esta.org/events/symposium/nwrs.html. Attending the full Symposium will carry up to nine ETCP education renewal credits for recertification—and enjoy the inspiration and informative sessions from the comfort of your home!

Registration is now open for the New World Rigging Symposium (NWRS), produced by ESTA and USITT, which will take place online April 6 – 8, 2021. The NWRS provides a virtual opportunity for riggers and those interested in the entertainment rigging industry to network, discuss current issues and new technologies, and help shape the future of the industry. The cost has been reduced to $99 and the Symposium carries up to nine ETCP education renewal credits for recertification.

Participants will be given a range of opportunities to further their technical knowledge in sessions on video wall rigging, automation and motorization, performer flying and rescue, and types of ropes. They’ll have a chance to learn about how the installation of a tension grid is working in a major facility, to get their questions answered by a panel of the industry’s most knowledgeable structural engineers, learn about working in cinema rigging, and how to be aware of and address the mental health impact of the pandemic. Jeanette Farmer will deliver the Symposium’s Keynote speech. Visit www.esta.org/nwrs to see a complete schedule, session descriptions, and presenters.

The Symposium has been expanded to three days to allow more time for discussion and virtual networking over lunch and during the Rigging Cornucopia Happy Hour that will close each day’s sessions.
