PASS TYPES

Full Conference Pass ($1,100 each—on sale in February)

A Full Conference Pass lets you experience all the wonder of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference throughout the three-day event—full access to all Pavilion talks, intimate breakout sessions, book signings, Q&As, breakfasts and lunches, mingling with the writers, and a closing reception on the stunning Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.

For access to private events with writers and VIP dinners, please inquire about becoming a donor.

Next Generation Pass ($550 each, 35 and under—on sale in February)

We are excited to offer our half-price Next Generation Pass again for 2023! This pass is available for those age 35 and under, inspiring the “next generation” to become lifelong SVWC supporters.

We only have a limited supply each year, so act fast. You can experience the wonder of the entire Writers’ Conference at half the price—full access to all Pavilion talks, intimate breakout sessions, book signings, Q&As, breakfasts and lunches, mingling with the writers, and a closing reception on the stunning Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.

HOW IT WORKS

Conference Passes are sold online on a first-come, first-served basis (maximum two per type, per person). We have a limited number, and they sell out almost every year—sometimes, within minutes. We recommend signing up for our email newsletter to receive important pass sale information.

If you would like to get early access to passes, and therefore guarantee your pass, learn more about joining our Family of Donors and our Donor Priority Pre-Sale. Email us with questions as [email protected].

WHERE TO BUY PASSES

When available, you can purchase passes securely with a credit card directly from our website. If you have questions, call 208.726.5454 or email [email protected].

GET EARLY ACCESS AND GUARANTEE YOUR PASS

As a benefit to joining our Family of Donors, you will be given exclusive access to our Donor Priority Pre-Sale! This program is currently closed for 2023, but it allows you to purchase passes in advance of our general pass sale in February. To learn more, email us at [email protected].
