Century City Bar Entertainment Symposium

All dressed up and nowhere to go after work? If you happen to be an entertainment lawyer in and around Century City, the Century City Bar Association has the answer: why not check out their first Entertainment Symposium. The four session event (registration is $70/session, $240 for all four) offers 1.5 hours of MCLE credit per session and follows a film through its lifecycle.

Up first: tomorrow night (Tuesday, April 20) features a look at pitfalls and issues during the development process. The following sessions (April 22, 26 & 28) look at financing, production and distribution. Each night is a convenient 6:30-8:00, followed by a cocktail reception, allowing time to network with the panelists (attorneys from private practice and studios). Full disclosure: my colleague Louis Dienes is president of the CCBA.
