Olympic Experience

Riggit provided their technical support and extensive knowledge of event production and design to help transform the Olympic dream into a successful reality. We were the venue consultant for the International Olympic Committee during the review process before Vancouver became an official Olympic Venue. When the Olympic Logo launch took place at GM place, Riggit Services was an integral part of the production team. Throughout the process of planning, designing and producing the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games Riggit acted as the venue and rigging consultant to VANOC and designed and installed the rigging for numerous venues.
