PITCH TRAINING
During the first two days of our Hit Makers Summit, we’ll present the Sell Your TV Concept Now Crash Course. It’s a fast-paced intensive workshop showing you how successful show creators approach the TV business differently and what they do intentionally and strategically to achieve superior results when compared to other show creators. Whether your TV show is just an idea or a complete script, the pitching principles, strategies, tactics, samples, and templates will allow you to develop you pitch package, get more pitch meetings, get more offers, earn more money and touch more people’s lives.
In order to ensure everyone has time to work with us or a member of our team personally during the conference, we’re only accepting up to 30 clients into this session.
VACATION TIME FOR THE FAMILY
This is also a great time to take the family for a vacation in the world's best vacation city! Don't let the kids miss out on the roller coasters or let your spouse miss the Blue Man Group, Cirque Du Soleil or House of Blues concerts.
Our 3 day conference is also CATERED for lunch.
We will be catering lunch and snacks EVERY DAY.
