This year marks the 30th anniversary of the enormously successful and highly influential UCLA Entertainment Symposium. The annual Symposium has become a flagship event for the entertainment industry, bringing to UCLA more than 500 leading practitioners, prominent entertainment law firms, legal scholars and students.
Each year the two-day Symposium deals with subjects at the forefront of the entertainment industry with breadth and depth that is seldom reached by other programs of this nature. Indeed, the syllabus for each year's program has become a required part of any complete entertainment library.
This year’s program, entitled Hollywood: By the Number$, will address a broad range of topics focused on economic issues impacting financiers, producers and talent in areas including theatrical distribution, television, litigation, motion picture profit participation, guild agreements and private equity investments in studio productions.
