What prevents the New York Television Festival, or any attendees, from stealing my ideas?
Anyone who has ever pitched an idea in the entertainment business is mindful about having ideas stolen. The New York Television Festival offers unique protection for independent television makers attempting to promote their ideas by providing an open marketplace in which to showcase their pilot. At the Festival, thousands of industry figures will see your name attached to your project, and this degree of visibility offers far more protection of your idea than you would have in conventional channels such as a pitch meeting.
