2011 ENR Newsmaker to Open CRC/ICHC 2013

Screen Shot 2013-01-02 at 8.50.47 AMHelping safety and risk managers apply both new and old technology to safety and productivity on the job will be a key focus of CRC/ICHC 2013. Keynote speaker Matthew Wallace, president and CEO of VRSim, a technology company in Hartford, Conn., will discuss practical and cost-effective uses of virtual reality applications in construction. Although crane operator simulators are not new to the crane and rigging industry, their acceptance has been limited. Wallace, recognized as a 2011 ENR Top 25 Newsmaker, will explain how technology from the gaming industry is valuable for recruitment and training of workers.

The jointly held Crane & Rigging Conference and Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference will take place May 29-30, 2013 at the Indianapolis Marriott North in Indianapolis, Ind. CRC/ICHC is produced by MCM Events, a division of Maximum Capacity Media.

Other technology topics in the works for the conference include:

  • Apps and Tablets for Riggers, Operators, and Signalpersons
  • Electronic Recordkeeping for Sling and Below-the-Hook Device Inspections
  • Sales and Safety Uses for Lift Planning Software

Trending topics scheduled for the agenda include:
