Austin Screenwriting Conference - should I go?

[wildgrace]

Some plans I made for the autumn fell through, and now I'm thinking of going to the Austin Screenwritng Conference, and maybe the film festival, if I can get the time off from my day job.

Anybody please share their experiences, tips. Should I go? Is it worthwhile?

I'm planning to go. I decided to take the time and invest the money and had to choose one event. In a thread in this section I got some good advice that Austin was the best, if you can only go to one. The biggest advantage I heard was that the industry people aren't on their own turf so they can't go home at the end of the day. So if you ever wanted to cozy up to one of them at the bar, this event is your chance. Apparently everyone goes to the Driskill bar.

Hello Stinger:

Thanks for the info. If I can get the time off from work, I think I am going to go too.
