About The Entertainment Gathering

Scientists. Magicians. Artists. Inventors. Entertainers. Renegades. Educators.

Once a year, EG draws together the most eclectic mix of creative genius imaginable to recreate the dream conference — an astounding group of rising stars and living national treasures flocks to Monterey for a disarmingly intimate and unpretentious three-day conference. America's entertainment industries are a breeder reactor for talents, technologies and ideas that inspire the boldest trends in our culture. There is not a segment of society or professional pursuit that isn't profoundly affected. EG is where you go to hear, dine and mingle with your creative heroes — and the heroes you didn't know you had yet. Leon Fleisher playing Chopin; Jonathan Winters reminiscing about his life; Brian Greene giving a crash course in quantum physics; Frans Lanting's insights on wildlife photography; Nicholas Negroponte sharing his passion for education; Mike Rowe discussing the dirtiest jobs of all — and why we need to do them better. It's hard to describe, and it's the unlikeliest design for a conference, but it works because all knowledge is connected. Attending EG is a commitment to discovering those connections.

Last year's attendees have already taken advantage of a special early registration process. Remaining places can be reserved at:
