WESTDOC offers many opportunities to meet and hear from over one hundred of the top decision makers in the documentary and reality fields.

Keynote Panels & Seminars
Two days of information and dialog. Panel schedule will be updated daily as more speakers confirm. Check back often for Speaker updates.

The Network Sit-Down
WESTDOC delivers information you need to know. Thirty minute intimate overviews of individual networks outlining what they program today and more importantly what they’re looking for tomorrow.

The Production Company Sit-Down
Not sure if you can produce and sell your next project on your own? We’ve confirmed a dozen of today's leading production companies who look for independent producers and content creators to partner with in developing and delivering new programming.

Face Time
Brush up on your short pitch. One-on-one meetings with the network people you want to pitch to for 10 minutes. Every WESTDOC attendee will have the opportunity to schedule Face Time meetings with the network executive of your choice, on a space available basis.

PitchFest
The third day of the conference is dedicated to PitchFest, a rousing live presentation for documentary and reality producers to pitch new concepts to network and development executives for potential acquisition, in front of a live audience. Network and cable buyers will be on hand to hear and see 8 minute verbal and video pitches. The best pitch of the day will be awarded the second annual WESTDOC PITCHER. All Westdoc Conference attendees may apply to pitch or watch the special all day event as part their conference pass.

Parties
End each day with our now famous cocktail mixers. Socialize with speakers and attendees and enjoy the nearby great restaurants and bars.

Opening Night Screening
Each year WESTDOC screens a timely documentary, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. In 2010, WESTDOC screened the Sundance smash hit documentary CATFISH.
