ATX TV Festival is a one-of-a-kind festival experience bringing together TV fans and industry to celebrate television as one community. Dubbed “TV Camp for Grown Ups,” the festival, in downtown Austin, is unique in its 50/50 split of Industry and Consumers, reaching up to 70% female attendees, and a broad age range coming primarily from North America. This deeply loved event has a wide inventory for brands to participate in significant and meaningful ways through programming, activations, and events. This is an extremely influential and loyal audience of top TV professionals (Executives, Creators, Cast, Producers, etc) and a wide array of fans looking for authentic interactions with all categories of consumer brands and TV.

In addition to the festival, this woman founded business has expanded to virtual and in person year round programming, a Membership Program, Pitch Competition + Program for aspiring TV writers, and a wide array of additional sales opportunities.

As ATX TV is growing, we are hiring our first dedicated Sales Director to bring in consumer brands and industry leaders alike to create unique experiences and branded sponsorships for the flagship event (May 29-June 1, 2025) and year round programming/events.
