Travel & Hotel

The Great American PitchFest is proud to be holding the ninth annual event at the Marriott Burbank Hotel & Convention Center (2500 N.  Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505), June 1 – 3, 2012.

Located conveniently and directly across from the Burbank Airport (Bob Hope International), the hotel is also located an approximate 20 minute drive from LAX Airport.  Rooms sell out as the dates approach, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Discounted Rates of $143 a night are available for attendees.  Please call the Burbank Marriott at 818-843-6000 to arrange.  The Marriott Burbank Hotel & Convention Center has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, and all rooms are gorgeous.  The entire screenwriting conference and pitchfest event will take place at the hotel, so if you are able to, it is highly recommended that participants maximize their pitchfest experience by staying here.  If possible, fly into the Burbank Airport, but LAX is a good second choice.

Book Now: Call 1-818-843-6000 & mention the Great American Pitchfest for a discount rate.
