Meet a Showrunner + Director

*Advance sign up was required, see networking page for more details

*Hosted in William F White Int'l group networking hub

Attendees who secured a spot in advance for Meet a Showrunner + Director should arrive at the session room 20-30 minutes prior to the session start time to check in with the room monitor and get processed. Showing up late will result in losing your spot to the wait line.

If you did not secure a spot in advance, we recommend showing up to the session room 20-30 minutes early to join the wait line. The wait line will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

These informal, 30-minute networking sessions are designed to connect delegates with top directors and showrunners in a small-group setting. Talk inspiration, creative challenges and career advice with leading industry professionals.

NOTE: We acknowledge there's an ongoing labour dispute between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). If you are participating in meetings or planning on pitching, we encourage you to abide by the guidelines of any union or guild affiliations you may have.
