At this year's LDI Show, TOMCAT offered attendees the chance to register to win a scholarship: the winner could choose to attend the 2007 Hoist and Rigging Workshop or the Advanced Truss and Motor Workshop.  And the lucky winner is...  Kurt Jaeckel of Quickbeam Systems, Inc. in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

QSI is an event production company that covers a wide range of services including video, audio, lighting, roofing and rigging.

The president of Quickbeam is no stranger to the industry.  In fact, he had to take a break from putting the Sandia Casino's roof system "to bed" for the winter to accept the much coveted scholarship!  "I'm absolutely thrilled," he said before getting back to the project at hand.  Because Kurt has already attended the four day Hoist and Rigging Workshop, it came as no surprise when he selected the Advanced Hoist and Truss Workshop. 

TOMCAT's annual school is February 21 - 24, 2007 in Midland, Texas.  It includes workshops pertaining to hoist, rigging, truss, and fall protection taught by some of the foremost experts in the industry.   TOMCAT is also pleased to offer the Advanced Hoist and Truss Workshop: a two day school covering a variety of interesting topics on hoist motors and truss design.  It is meant for those who have already completed TOMCAT's four day workshop and/or those with extensive experience with motors and truss in the field. Advanced Workshop dates are February 23-44, also in Midland, Texas.
