"Last month, the first plenary meeting of the CEN workshop on “Lifting and Load-bearing Equipment for Stages and other Production Areas within the Entertainment Industry” was held in Brussels.
TC member Bert Determan is attending the meetings on behalf of the Commission, Erik Westerlund and Louis Janssen are attending too.
This time the workgroup was separated in a “trusses and truss equipment” group, and a “stage machinery” and “standard lifting equipment” group.
There was a huge response from the industry, and this resulted in 47 members."

“Talking in Seoul to a lot of people, I realised that there is a world wide need for quality training for working theatre technicians.
As TC, we proved again in Belgrade we can provide workshops of high, international level.
That’s why I intent to collect a database of people (TC members and others) who have interesting lectures or workshops to give.
This way we can offer those to organisations who want to have them, with the OISTAT as a non profit organisation as a quality mark.”
