\"\"<\/p>\n

The SXSW Conference<\/a> is happy to announce our first wave of Film Mentors and Round Table participants<\/strong> for the 2018 event. Mentors and Round Tables are an excellent way to get industry advice with a personal touch.<\/p>\n

Mentor sessions center around one-on-one meetings with film and entertainment professionals<\/strong>, which range from experts in distribution and filmmaking to marketing and promotion, and more. The Round Table program allows for seven attendees to sit at a table and converse with a rotating group of industry insiders. Not only do attendees get the opportunity to learn from industry experts<\/strong>, but also from the questions and experiences of their peers. Like the Mentor sessions, Round Tables are broken up into different sections such as Sales and Acquisitions, Publicity, and more.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for Mentors and Round Tables sign-up coming later this season<\/strong>. Advanced sign-up is required and access is limited to badge type.<\/p>\n
