best practices as managers;
effective communication
with the community,
production and your team;
new technology and how to
utilize it; and the evolving
logistics of a growing city/
state. We don't get very
many opportunities to
learn directly from each
other outside of these LMGI
events. It's easy to focus
narrowly on the demands
of whatever show you
might be working on at any
particular time, but these
events help us to connect
and create synergy among
location managers globally.
It's our job to consider topics
specific to one production
when we're on the clock,
and it's our responsibility
to address the big picture
topics on volunteered time;
the LMGI provides a valuable
forum for those important
conversations."
The last panel led an open
discussion on "Ethics in
Location Management," led
by Gordon, Andrea Keener/
LMGI and Mike Riley.
Said Keener, "Mac Gordon
and Nicole Robinson at Stone
Mountain put together a
great event last week. I was
honored to be a part of the
ethics panel, along with Mike
Riley and Mac. We had a
thoughtful discussion overall
with some very interesting
and specific topics brought
up that often go unspoken
and exist in what folks call 'a
gray area." To my knowledge,
this was the first panel on
this topic done in Georgia
and I hope there will be more
like it in the future."
Summed up Gordon,
"Everything went really well.
We had approximately 50
people in classes and added
another 10 or so for the
afternoon socializing time
after lunch. I had arranged
for several vendors to come
and set up at the pavilion.
After lunch, we all walked
down to enjoy the day,
the good company, seeing
old friends and drinking
some beers. Our vendors
included many stalwart
supporters of LMGI like Reel
Security, Classic Tents &
Events, STS Traffic Control,
T3 RENTALS, Downtown
Hilton, Candler Hotel and
HERC. PPS Permit Service
and Traffic Control made
a debut, as did America's
Mart, city of Brookhaven,
Steve Kennedy of Kennedy
Location Services and Ardilla
Cleaning Services. Everyone
enjoyed the socializing and
networking opportunity, and
many expressed hope for
more such gatherings from
the LMGI. We also hope to
record some of these panels
in the future for use by our
national and international
members."
