Attend SVWC

2024 is our 30th Anniversary!

 

We hope you will join us to celebrate. Conference Passes will go on sale via our website in February. Further details will be announced as the date gets closer. Passes are sold online on a first-come, first-served basis. We have a limited number, and they sell out almost every year—sometimes, within minutes. We recommend signing up for our email newsletter to receive important pass sale information.

 

PASS TYPES

Full Conference Pass ($1,100 each—on sale in February)

A Full Conference Pass lets you experience all the wonder of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference throughout the three-day event—full access to all Pavilion talks, intimate breakout sessions, book signings, Q&As, breakfasts and lunches, mingling with the writers, and a closing reception on the stunning Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.

For access to private events with writers and VIP dinners, please inquire about becoming a donor.

 

Next Generation Pass ($550 each, 35 and under—on sale in February)

We are excited to offer our half-price Next Generation Pass again! This pass is available for those age 35 and under, inspiring the “next generation” to become lifelong SVWC supporters.

We only have a limited supply each year, so act fast. You can experience the wonder of the entire Writers’ Conference at half the price—full access to all Pavilion talks, intimate breakout sessions, book signings, Q&As, breakfasts and lunches, mingling with the writers, and a closing reception on the stunning Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.

The SVWC Experience

PLEASE NOTE:

During the course of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, we will be filming, photographing, and recording the overall experience, including all sessions and any Q&A that is included. (This is primarily for our marketing and distribution of content.) Please be aware that by attending the Conference you consent to allow the Conference to use your likeness and voice in recordings, films, and tapes in our marketing materials and all media, now and in the future, waive any rights with respect to such use, and release the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference from any liability pertaining to such use. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

 

If you purchase a pass and are no longer able to use it, you may notify us by May 15 for a refund minus a $35 per pass handling fee. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds after that time.
