AIHA Connect in New Orleans was a blast.

Our team had the chance to run live demos, talk rescue, and give folks a hands-on look at technical rescue.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, participated, and trusted us enough to take a ride.

We’re especially thankful for AIHA and Peri Scaffolding. Building something like this takes planning, coordination, and a lot of work behind the scenes.

We're glad to have made some new friends and would love to collaborate again.
