IMPORTANT: Professional Protocol
You will have an opportunity to learn in this session about
how to write comedy and hear tips how to be successful in the
industry.
Contacting a VIP uninvited is counter-productive and can get
you banned. Those who wish to contact a speaker after the event
should email care of one of the ScreenPlayLab founders, not pester
the speaker by trying to contact directly.
Do not ask speakers how to contact them. It can be offensively
presumptuous to assume they want you to have their email address.
And if the speaker asks you to contact him, please don't ask
for contact info at our event. It's awkward for a speaker to
give contact info to one person and not others present. We will
help you reach the speaker if he wants to be reached.
We will forward "thank you" emails after the event,
but it's entirely up to the speaker if he will respond personally.
Many speakers are simply too busy, although they all appreciate
the notes.
