WGA East & West Late Night Welcome

Opening Night wouldn't be complete without a buzz-worthy party sponsored by the WGA East & West that hosts just arrived filmmakers, screenwriters and registrants to the first evening gathering of the festival. Meet and mingle over drinks and conversation in the heart of downtown Austin during the Late Night Welcome Party, where networking is serious, but dress code is always casual.
