Founded in 2000, the PMF was created as a joint venture between the two associations, in recognition that there was no organisation dedicated to the specific needs of the production manager.
Since then, the PMF has held three to four meetings a year, on various subjects ranging from International carnets to greener productions.
This latest meeting is presented as part of the PLASA Focus seminar programme. It will concentrate on the ABTT's Technical Access Passport Scheme (TAP) - launched at last year's ABTT Theatre Show - and the range of possible benefits this unifying card scheme offers the entertainment industry.
TAPthis - what will it mean for you? is aimed at anyone working backstage, in any capacity and at all levels, as well as freelancers, employees and employers, member-based organisations and associations, live entertainment venue owners, contractors, training providers and educational establishments.
Speakers Ken Bennett-Hunter and Tom Mannings, representing the SMA & ABTT accordingly, will explain the card's origins, alongside John Young (ATG) and Matt Storey (Gallowglass), who will explain how they are planning to put the TAP scheme into practice.
