It's tough to get anything produced in Hollywood, and a conference is no exception. Two years in the making, the two-day Produced By Conference not only got made, it sold out, with over 500 attendees. Bold-face names on the more than 30 panels included Clint Eastwood, James Cameron, producer Mark Gordon and Variety exec Peter Bart.
The conference, held primarily on the Sony lot, was sponsored by the Producers Guild of America, and was apparently the first-ever conference of its type specifically for producers (both experienced and novice), a surprise in a town that is awash in then. All the attendees I spoke to deemed the conference a success.
Other producer panelists included Betsy Beers, Kevin Feige, Lauren Shuler Donner, Ralph Winter, Ian Bryce, Bruce Cohen, Roger Corman, Carlton Cuse, Marshall Herskovitz, Gale Anne Hurd, Kathleen Kennedy, Norman Lear, Lawrence Bender, Bill Lawrence, Ali LeRoi, Michael London, Gary Lucchesi, Jim Morris, and Sabrina Wind.
