It's Your Call: Don't miss the Stage Managers Academy at LDI 2024, with sessions on stage management and show calling on December 7, 8 & 9, as part of the LDInnovation Conference and presented in collaboration with the Stage Managers' Association.
The Stage Managers Academy picks up on the success of the inaugural stage management bootcamp at LDI 2023. “Live entertainment is continually evolving. A very important part of making it work falls on the event or stage manager. As freelancers, there are few places we can go to hone our skills, talk with others and ask key questions. The SMA has collaborated with LDI to put together a very timely series of conversations surrounding innovations (or changes) in the field and how they fit into our daily work life. Please join us at LDI at an event especially designed for stage and event managers in the live entertainment industry,” comments Elynmarie Kazle, president of the Stage Managers' Association Foundation.
