About WGFestival

WGFestival is a two-day writing conference hosted by the Writers Guild Foundation.

This year, WGFestival will feature virtual programming on the RingCentral platform (formerly Hopin), all with a unique focus on the craft of writing for the screen. We draw on the industry’s top talents and a highly engaged, sophisticated audience to provide an experience that stands out among the rest.

WGFestival 2024 is a public event open to anyone who is interested in writing for the screen. All proceeds benefit the Writers Guild Foundation's Library, Archives, and community outreach programs such as the Veterans Writing Project, Visiting Writers Program, and Writers’ Access Support Staff Training Program.
