Why Does The Price Go Up Later?
Early
registration benefits any meeting planner, helping to predict how much
of every meeting resource to plan for. Late registrations force meeting
planners into difficult choices -- to order too much and waste
money, or order not enough and possibly upset registrants.
Because
you help us save on waste and avoid shortages by registering
early, we pass savings on to you. Also see Saving You Money On The Screenwriting Expo Experience below.

Gold Pass Or Basic Pass?
Compare Benefits:
The
Gold Pass Is The Most Convenient.
It give you priority seating if you arrive before general seating begins (10 minutes into sessions).
With
the Gold Pass, you receive:
– Free
early entry to all seminars.
Basic Pass registrants pay $5 in advance or $6 on site per seminar. You can save up to
$80.
– Bypass
the lines:
priority seating at any event if you arrive
early. Seating is not absolutely guaranteed
– some smaller
seminars will fill up with earliest-arriving Gold Pass registrants – but in the
vast
majority of cases, a Gold Pass and early arrival will get you into an
excellent seat. It is the best
assurance that
you’ll
see everything you want without the extra effort of buying
tickets.
– Bypass
the ticket line.
A Gold Pass saves you from having to stand in line for event tickets.
– Free
tickets to all three networking parties.
At $30 each, this is a $90 value.
– Priority
access to special
events, such as screenings, which may be set up later.
– A Free subscription to
Creative Screenwriting Magazine. This is a $29.95 value in
the US, $34.95 in Canada/Mexico, and $49.95 if you're from another
country.
– The
right to buy tickets to the Golden Pitch event.
The Only Additional Possible Costs Incurred By Gold Pass Recipients Are:
- Your meals,
other than food provided at the receptions. The Los Angeles Airport Hilton has excellent
food options and there are other food options nearby..
- Golden Pitch Tickets.
Only registrants can pitch, so you need a Gold or Basic Pass to
pitch. Tickets are an additional $25 each, or 20% off for five or
more purchased together.
- Special Events, if any.
We may co-sponsor a Pitch Boot Camp on Thursday, Oct. 7
before the Expo officially begins. If so, both Gold Pass and
Basic Pass registrations will need to buy tickets for this event.
Examples
of other special events: a movie screening for which we have to
rent
the theater or projection equipment; or a special guest speaker whom
we'd have to fly in First Class from out of town or pay a large
speaking fee.

The
Basic Pass Is The Most Economical:
With the
Basic Pass, you can minimize costs if you are attending the
Screenwriting Expo on a budget.
The Basic Pass gives you:
– The
right to buy tickets
to individual seminars at $5 each/ or $6 on site. NOTE: in rare instances,
you
may be denied a seat at a purchased session if it fills up with
early-arriving "Gold Pass" registrants. If that happens, you
may
exchange your ticket or receive a refund. NOTE:
there are some small meeting rooms in 2010; seating is not guaranteed.
– The
right to attend free events, including
Guest of Honor sessions and free panels.
– The
right to buy tickets to evening Networking Receptions ($30 per
ticket).
– The
right to buy a subscription to Creative Screenwriting Magazine at a discount price.

Saving You Money On The Screenwriting Expo Experience
The Biggest And Least Expensive Screenwriting Meeting For Those On A Budget
The
Screenwriting Expo is the biggest screenwriting meeting in the world, by
far, in terms of what it offers -- more than 150 sessions each year,
including seminars with world-recognized teachers, panels with working
screenwriters and producers, Guest of Honor sessions with the top
screenwriters in Hollywood, its own screenwriting and scene-writing
competitions, one of the biggest pitch fests in the business, and an
array of networking opportunities.
It is also the
least expensive major screenwriting meeting in the world -- by far.
You can't get in the door at other major screenwriting meetings
for under $225. At the Expo, you can attend a three full days of great
seminars and Guest of Honor sessions for as low as about $135 total
(based on three paid and two free sessions/day).
Travel And Lodging Costs To The Expo Slashed
The
Hilton Hotel at Los Angeles Airport is the most luxurious hotel which
has ever hosted the Screenwriting Expo or been the main Expo host
hotel. So you would expect that it would be the most expensive,
right?
Wrong. It is the LEAST expensive rate in many years
for an Expo headquarters hotel. We negotiated a single
or double room rate of only $99.95 per night. In addition:
- The self-parking rate is a very low (for Los Angeles) $14.95\day
- The hotel has a FREE shuttle from Los Angeles Airport, saving about $30 round trip compared to a shuttle to the downtown area.
- We're
negotiating a second hotel deal with a hotel just two blocks away for
only $59.95 per night. Breakfast and guest parking are included
with that room rate. This second hotel also has a free airport
shuttle.
In all, compared to 2009 and to most prior years:
- If
you're traveling by air and you stay at the headquarters hotel, you'll
save $103.71 on three nights' stay plus $30 compared to last year, for
a total of $134 saved.
- If you're
traveling by air and if we finalize the second-hotel deal as expected,
a two-block walk will save you $246.50 on the room compared to last
year, plus about $10/day on breakfast, plus $30 on the shuttle for
total savings of $306. If you're traveling by car, savings at
this hotel are $321 compared to last year.
$3 Bus to The Beach Or Shopping
Want
to visit the beach? Shop? See some sights? How
is this for a deal: the airport hotels have a shuttle to Manhattan
Beach and its environs for $3 round trip. Ask at the front desk
or concierge. More information at this page.
