Networking Parties
at The 2011 Screenwriting Expo, Sept. 15-18, 2011, Westin Los Angeles Airport
|
|
“Entertainment is a business that runs on
personal relationships. Pure and simple.”
|
Three
receptions offer registrants great opportunities to meet, socialize,
find a serious conversation about screenwriting, stop being so serious,
pitch your scripts to each other and check the reactions. We don't
promise romance or a celebrity-sighting, but both happen. (Last year,
Shane Black stayed through an entire reception and then invited a group
of writers to his home. We don't promise anything like that; what
happens happens. We do invite all speakers to the receptions.)
At
each reception. we'll serve hors d'ouvres. Beverages are cash bar.
The Saturday night reception will include music and a space for
dancing. More details on all three receptions will be posted below as
we make the arrangements.
