Course Details

You possess the idea for the next American Idol or Deal or No Deal. You know you have it in you to be (or discover!) the next Rachael Ray. The only thing you're missing now is the chance to sell it.

We've got you covered. Join this one-of-a-kind panel, where development executives, producers, and agents from some production companies, networks, and agencies tell you what they're looking for, and how you can deliver it to them. Then, following the Q&A, our Pitch Slam* allows members of the audience to pitch their ideas to the panel to see what wouldn't fly and what would air.

Panelists include:

  • Scott Agostini, television agent, Aternative and Nonscripted Department, William Morris Agency
  • Sara Auspitz, director of programming, Endemol USA (Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, etc.); formerly director of Original Series, TBS
  • Chad Gervich, freelance development executive (Foody Call, Star Search, etc.)
  • Dirk Hoogstra, director of Development, TLC (A Baby Story, Trading Spaces, etc.)
  • and more to come...

*Pitches are timed and limited to 90 seconds. Pitches will be accepted via sign-up sheet at the event. First come, first served. Preference will be given to those who are pre-registered.
