Slips, trips and falls are at the top of the list for reportable accidents in nearly every industry. Each slip, trip and fall accident claim costs, on average, about $32,000. But more importantly, each accident costs the health and well-being of the person injured. Traditional safety training has not reduced slip, trip, and fall injuries. So we posed the question: “Can we learn not to slip and fall? And if so, how?” Decades of research and understanding led Dr. Lockhart, an INBIODYN founder, to embrace a kinetic learning approach; learn by doing. The end result was Slip Simulator™ Training.

Their latest album, Be Right Here draws inspiration from Southern rock, blues-leaning classic rock and rootsy vintage country and is full of vivid and relatable characters that ensure the songs often resemble rich short stories. Over the past two decades, Blackberry Smoke has amassed the following of a loyal fanbase, leading their last six full-length albums to achieve great chart success, including 2021’s You Hear Georgia, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart and 2024’s Be Right Here, which reached the top 5 on the Top Current Album Sales chart. Touring relentlessly, the band know a little something about hitting the road in order to find a place to belong, and supported by the strong fanbase of Brothers and Sisters, legions of whom travel across the globe to support the band, they in turn give fans a palace to belong. Over the years the band has appeared across the globe on stages such as Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Glastonbury, Download UK, to name a few, and has no plans to stop anytime soon. For Blackberry Smoke, embracing the light and finding the silver lining are once again at the heart of what they do best. Learn more about Blackberry Smoke at BlackberrySmoke.com

Justin Willman has quickly become one of the most influential magicians of his generation — without ever taking himself too seriously. A master of blending magic with comedy, heart, and just the right amount of mischief, he first rose to national fame as the host of Cupcake Wars (yes, really) before creating and starring in the critically acclaimed Netflix series Magic for Humans. Over multiple seasons, Willman redefined magic for the streaming era: sharp, fast, funny, and deeply human. Now, he's set to break new ground again with Magic Lover, premiering June 17 on Netflix — the platform's first-ever stand-up comedy special from a magician. In it, Willman fuses mind-blowing illusions with storytelling, humor, and heart, tackling everything from fatherhood to the strange serendipities of life, all while making audiences laugh, cry, and gasp — often at the same time. He also created and starred in Magic Prank Show, Netflix’s first hidden-camera magic prank series. He’s a regular on The Tonight Show, The Today Show, and the Kelly Clarkson Show, and sold out theaters across the country with his Illusionati tour. A Los Angeles native with Midwest roots, Willman’s live shows are part spectacle, part therapy session, part stand-up set — a uniquely feel-good cocktail in a world that could use more of it. When he’s not onstage or onscreen, Willman’s busy being a dad, tinkering with new ways to blend technology and magic, and proving that the best tricks aren’t about deception — they’re about connection. In an age where cynicism comes easy, Justin Willman is betting big on wonder.

Paramount's Laser Spectacular is the smash hit multi-media laser and light show featuring the music of Pink Floyd “as you've never seen before.” The Laser Spectacular has become a cultural phenomenon, carrying fans away on a mind-expanding journey driven by cutting-edge Lasers, Lighting, and Video effects.

"You imagine images when you listen to their music, and with no visual stimuli, there is still a show in your mind." Using lasers, lighting, video, and other special effects, what your mind is "seeing" becomes a reality. That is why people love this show so much. It’s a mind-expanding experience for Floyd fans of all ages. So, parents, score "cool points" with your teenagers and bring them along!"

Train is a multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band from San Francisco that has had 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and 13 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Train's climb to the top began in 1994, as the original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal hometown following, leading up to their debut self-titled album released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of "Meet Virginia'' gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s Drops of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status thanks to the double-GRAMMY-winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40, has been certified RIAA 7x platinum, and earned the 2001 GRAMMY Award for Best Rock Song. The group won another GRAMMY in 2011 for their global hit “Hey, Soul Sister'' from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco (2009), which was the No.1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010, achieved RIAA Diamond status in 2021 and now 11x platinum, and in 2022 surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. Train has sold more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and dozens of other honors. They’ve had 24 Top 10 songs across the Billboard charts and six Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart including Drops of Jupiter (2001), My Private Nation (2003), California 37 (2012), Bulletproof Picasso (2014), For Me, It's You (2016), and a girl a bottle a boat (2017). This summer, Train is taking over amphitheaters?across the country on a?co-headline tour with REO Speedwagon, and most recently, released a new album, Live at Royal Albert Hall, recorded live from their sold-out, debut performance at the iconic and historic Royal Albert Hall in London. Train frontman, Pat Monahan, partakes in other ventures outside of music, including his award-winning wine portfolio, Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co, which was created in 2011 and has sold over 10 million bottles and won over 100 medals. Proceeds from his wine business support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.? Monahan has appeared on television and in film with credits that include the 2021 Hallmark Channel original movie, Christmas in Tahoe, inspired by Train’s album of the same name, which he executive produced and starred, Dr. Ken, 90210, CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., The Voice, American Idol, and The Bachelor.
