On September 10-11, 2012 the Third Annual PLASA Rigging Conference Opens Its DoorsOver 150 delegates from the global rigging community are expected this year to experience everything the third annual PLASA Rigging Conference has to offer. This year's keynote speech will be delivered by the legendary Disney rigger, Roy Bickel, who will be sharing his experiences of rigging over the last fifty years and his involvement in the development of modern rigging equipment and practices in, what promises to be, a thoroughly entertaining and informative hour. The conference confirms its status as the only international, annual meeting of its size solely dedicated to all things rigging: this year's seminars are packed with thirty speakers and panelists from around the globe covering all aspects of the challenges and issues facing the rigging professional. The accumulated expertise and experience of the contributors make this a not-to-be-missed event for anyone connected to the rigging industry. To close the conference on Tuesday, September 11, Alan Jacobi, managing director of Unusual Rigging, will host Question Time. This offers all delegates an opportunity to debate, discuss, agree, or refute any of the ideas or concerns that have been raised during the conference. This is a must-attend event for any rigging professional who wants to have a say in how the profession develops and expands. Full conference program and speaker details can be found at the URL below. As a precursor to the conference, The Riggers' Forum takes place on the afternoon of Sunday, September 9. Aimed at freelance riggers, this is an informal opportunity to meet experts in the industry and discuss the issues and challenges that face riggers today. There are still a few places available but pre-booking is essential to guarantee your place. Register at the URL below. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
