Events update from Spotlight

Please respond to Spotlight with any queries – these are not PMA events.

Dear PMA Members,

I hope you are all well. There are some events and requests which may be of interest to you below:

Agents Who Rep Casting Directors

We’re facilitating an online marketplace in mid-June for the International Casting Directors Association (ICDA) who would like to meet PMA agents who rep, or who are interested in repping casting directors. CDs in Europe and beyond are looking with interest at the UK model of representation for casting directors as they see a growing need for their interests to be protected. To register your interest in this event, please go to:

For more information about the ICDA and their members, see: https://the-icda.com/members/

Industry Forum 2024

This year’s Industry Forum will be held in October and we want to make it the most productive and targeted event yet. As agents, you are fighting multiple battle fronts right now, so we are taking this opportunity to survey the PMA to ask for their valued input into the session content and format of the event. We’d also like to hear from you about who you’d like to hear speak. Please could you take a few minutes to share your thoughts with us in this Spotlight survey for PMA members:

Disability Inclusion Training

We’d like to invite PMA members to join a closed session for agents and casting directors with the BAFTA winning advocacy group Triple C, taking place on Wednesday 22nd May at 4pm. The session provides insight for agents who rep or would like to rep disabled, deaf and/or neurodivergent actors and will explore access, terminology and implementation. They suggest ‘camera’s on’ for this one if you can. This session has been opened to the ICDA and CSA too, so there will be some CDs you perhaps recognise there too. Book here:
