It’s time once again for the Network TV Upfront Presentations, which also happen to be one of the best opportunities to meet celebs in NYC!
The Upfronts are annual presentations where the TV networks reveal their fall line-ups to advertisers and press. And, to really make an impression, they bring along their biggest stars. 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! Also, feel free to use this post as an Open Thread to discuss where and how to meet celebs during the 2017 TV Network Upfronts in the comments below!
