About Realscreen West
Seven years since its inception as Realscreen's Factual Entertainment Forum, Realscreen West has indisputably become the West Coast's most important and valuable unscripted entertainment conference. Last year's sold-out event attracted over 1000 delegates from around the globe for two days of panels, pitching and networking. Over 200 of those in attendance were buyers of unscripted programming and deals were certainly done!
This year's event moves (back) to the Fairmont Miramar Hotel on June 1–3, 2015 and registration includes access to the Realscreen Awards, the global celebration of non-fiction and factual entertainment excellence.
