SPECIAL EVENTS!

The Cocktail Pitch
A networking party! Seating will be arranged, forcing people to mingle - each table will have an envelope outlining a 'subject', then everyone will have 15-20 mins. to brainstorm on creating a program around this subject that would appeal to the broadcast panel members that we have identified.

Randomly groups will present their pitch in 5 mins. or less. Not too serious, but lots of fun, a great opening to the event.

30 Minutes With ... Sessions
Lucky individuals will get the chance to have a small group meeting with some of the most elusive broadcasting execs. All delegates can apply and passes will be selected by a random draw for meetings with folks that include:

• Carl Lindahl, VP Programming, History Channel
• Bryan Smith, EVP Programming & Production, National Geographic Channels International
• Dan Salerno, VP Programming, Discovery Channel (confirmed)
• Mary Ellen Iwata, VP Development, TLC
• More to be announced!!
