2012 Home Theater Forum Meet Information  

HOME THEATER FORUM NATIONAL MEET 2012

October 21st-26th

Home Theater Forum is proud to announce our first National Meet in the last 4 years!  We are providing the opportunity for our readers to spend a week in the Los Angeles area and experience the magic of Hollywood that most of the public will never have the opportunity to see quite this way.

We plan to visit with major studios who will take us on tours of their backlots and provide a peek at upcoming Blu-ray product.  We will also visit various manufacturing and authoring facilities that will provide attendees with insight into film to Blu-ray production and replication.

Attendees will have exclusive access that is not open to the general public! 

We have arranged special rates with The Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel located near Universal Studios and other major Hollywood attractions.

See Rates via our FAQ area below.
