Afternoon Networking Excursion
VIP Celebrity LA Tour Behind the Velvet Ropes

Take a trip down the path of a celebrity. Where do they eat, what do they do and how does the city of Los Angeles maintain its status as the capital of the entertainment industry? This afternoon, the famous streets of Beverly Hills and Hollywood come to life as you get a taste of what it's like to step behind the velvet rope. You will cruise down the famous Sunset Strip featuring such well-known nightclubs as the Whisky, where Jim Morrison and the Doors played and the bustling Key Club.

Moving further into Hollywood, you will be able to step onto the footprints of your favorite actor at Grauman's Chinese Theater before heading over to the Kodak Theater, home of the Academy Awards. Designed by prominent architect David Rockwell, the 136,000 square foot Kodak Theater is the only one of its kind in the world and you will receive an exclusive backstage tour to experience a bit of the celebrity treatment. See what it's like to step on the grand stage and see where the winners go for their press interviews.

 The guides will lead you on a walking tour of the city providing the inside scoop on the Who, What, When and Where that make headlines. You will experience the manicured streets of the 90210; its history, culture and shopping to prepare you for free time in the next few days.
