Site: Wofford Denius UTLA Center for Entertainment and Media Studies, Burbank, CA

The summit will be hosted at the Wofford Denius UTLA building, which is accessible and has space for three panels to occur simultaneously. The host hotel, the Burbank Hilton Garden Inn, is a quick walk to the Summit site. While LA is not known as the most walkable city, our location is ideally situated in downtown Burbank that provides easy walkability to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and some of the best tourism sites LA has to offer. The hotel is half a mile from the Burbank Town Center (a shopping mall). Less than five miles away are Universal Studios Hollywood theme park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, and Nickelodeon studios are less than 15 minutes away. 

 

Travel:

To fly to LA there are two good options. The first option is the Los Angeles airport (LAX), which will have the most flights. LAX offers hundreds of flights every day, many non-stop, from countries all over the world. After flying into LAX, you can take an approximate 35 minute taxi or Uber to the hotel. A second option, mainly for attendees flying within the U.S., is the Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR). This airport is approximately 12 minutes from the hotel and a taxi or ride share will get you there easily.
