It’s that time of year again, the annual Network TV Upfront Presentations – one of the best opportunities to meet celebs in NYC – are underway.
The Upfronts are annual presentations where the TV networks reveal their fall line-ups to advertisers and the press. They also bring their biggest stars to really make an impression. Though there is no public access to these events, they can still be a perfect opportunity to meet celebrities as they are arriving or leaving.
Check out some tips for meeting celebs at the Upfronts in our NYC Field Guide!
Stay tuned for more information about the exact venues, times, after-party, and fan events as it becomes available.
Also, feel free to use this post as an Open Thread to discuss where and how to meet celebs during the 2014 TV Network Upfronts in the comments below!

Thanks to Samantha for sharing the above photo from the 2013 FOX Upfront/Fan Event.
Any idea on USA Today?
not yet but like I said in the post I am sure there will be plenty of updates before May.
Anyone know where Mark Wahlberg will be? It is my dream to meet him, he is my idol! Thanks so much
This says the fox upfronts are the 12th. Is that right? https://film-book.com/television-network-upfronts-2014-schedule-cities-dates/
it makes sense, would be in line with past years, I’ll try to confirm
So I guess USA network would be under nbc universal? :/
I’m still working on that one, it usually has its own, I’ll keep digging to see if I can find a separate one, if not, yes, they might be together this year.
Hi Christine,
Do you have any idea on how the events at the Javitz Centre would be structured? Will there be any space for the fans set up?
I don’t really know more than what’s here but I would assume there will be some barricades at whatever entrance they will use for arrivals.

Hi,
Any info on Bravo’s presentation since they’re doing their first scripted shows this season?
Will it be part of a general NBC Universal Cable Entertainment Group upfront?
How does it work exactly and are talents supposed to attend?
Thank you for anything you find about this.
yes talent attends and it does ay bravo is included in the universal presentation.
Thanks for the details.
I hope the stars from the new scripted show will be there.
I’m really curious about “Girlfriends’ Guide” & “Odd Mom Left Out” in particular.
Considering going to the CW upfront. Hoping to get some of the “Arrow” cast. Has anyone ever gone to a CW upfront? Any chance for autographs?
Thanks!
Been there – not much chance of an autograph, more of pics and quickly.
This will be my first time going to upfronts on my own (i did the tweet seats for USA 2 years ago.)
If an event starts at 4, around what time do celebrities arrive? 2? 3? 3:55? Or is it better to try and get them on their way out (which is how I met a lot of USA people after the event was over)
Thanks!

I’m considering going to the NBC upfront, but I’ve never been before. What are fans’ chances of seeing/getting pictures with celebrities at the Javits Center? I’ve been to the TBS/TNT one before and met pretty much everyone in attendance when I was outside the restaurant where the luncheon was held.
