The emphasis is on both product awareness and providing fee-free training for those who want to increase their knowledge and understanding of automated rigging for the entertainment industry.
Subjects will include the operation and implementation of Kinesys automation products as well as the application of load cell systems for increased safety in multi-hoist lifting operations and the invitation is open to designers, operators, rental suppliers and rigging service providers - anyone with an interest in this dynamic element of modern show production.
The training workshops will provide structured learning in the theory, programming and operation of Kinesys' popular and successful Vector software along with an introduction to the various devices it can control.
There will be both classroom and associated practical machinery operation sessions.
The Open-House days will also serve as an introduction to the range of Kinesys automation solutions including products like the iconic Elevation1+ vari-speed chain hoist control, powerful K2 motion control software, the DigiHoist motor control platform and the Libra load cell system.
Attendees will be able to get hands-on time with the products as well as learn about the company's commitment to safety, quality and reliability which have become synonymous with the brand.
Classroom sessions will focus on Vector software training, while the 'Open-House' element of the overall event allows attendees a chance to see demonstrations, take part in basic system operation, chat with the Kinesys team and engineers and network with other professionals working in the field.
Allocated places on the Training Workshop will be limited to optimise the facilities and ensure everyone receives full attention.
David Bond, Kinesys USA's head of sales North America comments, "We have run several of these double-sided events in the past and they have proven very successful, not only in terms of generating sales but also by expanding the pool of Kinesys experienced operators in the U.S. which is key.
"Attendees like the relaxed feel of the training sessions and the chance to test-drive the systems. Potential buyers like the low-pressure approach with the chance to become familiar with the Kinesys brand as well as the team behind the products."
The Kinesys USA training facility and office is conveniently located just 2 miles off I-20 and approximately 15 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta international airport.
Kinesys will provide on-site catering and refreshments throughout the four-day event as part of the package. Attendees will need to arrange their own transport to the Kinesys' training facility and accommodation in the vicinity, which is well serviced by a variety of hotel options.
