WIFT Tampa Bay's 3rd Quarterly Educational Event is here and IT. IS. STRONG. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 31st and let's dive into....
WOMEN IN G&E!
This event is dedicated to empowering members to learn and understand more about a very specialized department in production. We will be covering:
⚡️Names, uses, functions of equipment
⚡️Various lighting
⚡️Hands-on opportunities to understand setup processes
⚡️1 ton / 3 ton / 5 ton trucks and how to decide what is needed on a production
AND MORE!
This is not an event designed only for those interested in working in G&E (though we would LOVE to see more women in this department!). Our goal is to educate and inform, especially those working as PRODUCERS, PRODUCTION COORDINATORS, PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS, how the G&E department functions from cost to usage.
We are grateful to be working with local equipment rental house Production Services & Systems (aka PSS) along with veteran Grip, Jim Warney, to bring you hands on opportunities in a fully-stocked rental house and a chance to ask lots of questions along the way.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
10:00am - Arrival at PSS (stay tuned for parking map and instructions)
10:30am - Begin walking tour of the warehouse with hands on opportunities and Q&A along the way.
11:45am - Explore fully loaded 3 ton truck with Q&A regarding best rental practices and procedures
12:00pm - Wrap up and walk to Miller's Ale House
2:00pm - Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
Coffee and water will be provided in the morning. Following the workshop, we will walk next door to Miller's Ale House for lite bites, all provided by our hosts, PSS!
As always, WIFT members may attend for F-R-E-E, but must register using the link. Non-members are welcome to attend and can reserve a spot for $10 using the link.
**This event will be capped due to safety in the warehouse. Ready to empower yourself with the workings of G&E? Don't forget to register using the ticket link!
Members, this educational event will replace the August WIFT Wednesday. We hope to see you on the 31st!
