HRTS is partnering with this year’s Drama Summit West conference (May 17-18, 2018). We will be the Programming + Marketing Partner on this two-day networking event fostering connections between the U.S. and international drama communities to facilitate new productions and creative partnerships through panels, networking sessions, keynote speakers and mixers.
What that means for HRTS members:
- REGISTRATION BENEFITS: Corporate members will be invited in the coming weeks to redeem an allotment of two-day passes to the conference; all HRTS members will receive a promo code for 25% off registration and will be eligible for a limited number of passes to be distributed on a lottery basis. Keep an eye out for further information.
