"We've been listening to our attendees of things and ideas they want [us] to do differently at the festival," Founder Noah Doyle told Patch. "With that input, we created a program called 'Behind the Pitch."
It will allow guests to connect with industry professionals if they have ideas for a TV pilot or series. One-on-one meeting will be set up a certain festival pass.

The festival also has more traditional one-on-one "meetings," a moderator will chat with well-known actors, including Richard Kind, Susan Kelechi Watson and Anna Chlumsky.
"Over two days, we're going to have six conversations with six different actors, who really span the breadth and depth of the acting community," Doyle said.
Additionally, addition, Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: Organized Crime) will be honored with the 2025 Canopy Award.
"Ticket prices are as low as $20," he said. "For certain types of passes, they get very expensive. Our hope is that there's something for everyone."
