CRN uses latest technology for staff training to maintain standards in tough times


As part of its commitment to staff training, the

Congress Rental Network (CRN), a worldwide network of top-quality AV and Simultaneous Interpretation (SI) specialists, is using the latest online technology to improve the skills of its members’ employees for minimum cost.

As economic uncertainty continues around the world, CRN wanted to ensure staff at all of its member companies would benefit from ongoing training without incurring the cost penalty of sending people to Bosch headquarters in Holland. And by holding regular webinars, employees can improve their skills in all areas CRN operates in. It is the latest development in CRN’s commitment to training – it recently introduced a schedule that ensures all technicians are re-accredited every six months.

Panagiotis Podimatas from PC Podimatas in Greece, chairman of the CRN, says: “With more than 1,100 staff across the network we are arguably the world’s largest provider of technical services to the event industry. It is critical staff at member companies are trained to the highest standards in order that we continue to provide a first class service. The CRN has a history and reputation as the worldwide voice of SI and AV expertise and we are determined to maintain that position.”

CRN members are specialists in congress equipment hire, with experience in installing and operating state-of -the-art equipment for event organisers in countless venues around the world.
