VPPPA Safety+ 26 was one for the books.
We had the opportunity to bring live rescue demonstrations to the conference floor, share practical techniques, and connect with safety professionals from across the industry. Hit play to see some of what our team brought to the event.
This experience would not have been possible without some incredible partners.
First, a huge thank you to BrandSafway for building the scaffold that made our rescue demonstrations possible. Jacob Arnold, Kris, and the entire crew were professional, dependable, easy to work with, and ready to help with anything we needed. They were a class-act group from start to finish, and we would welcome the opportunity to work with them again.
Thank you to our booth neighbors at Bullard for supplying our team with helmets featuring detachable brims. We enjoyed putting them to work. Now we just need to get a few in purple and gold. Geaux Tigers!
We are also deeply grateful to VPPPA for its strategic partnership, for providing the floor space, and for promoting the demonstrations throughout the event. Their support gave us the opportunity to put rescue education front and center.
A special thanks to our Director of Training, Chris Carlsen, and Senior Chief Instructor, Brad Warr, for putting on a great show. They are outstanding instructors, trusted teammates, and all-around great guys. Their experience, professionalism, and passion for teaching were on full display throughout the event.
Finally, thank you to everyone who participated, stopped to watch, asked questions, or joined us on camera. You helped make this a phenomenal experience.
We hope every attendee walked away with something valuable. At the end of the day, the purpose behind every demonstration, conversation, and training opportunity is simple: make workplaces safer, protect people, and save lives.
