How to Book Celebrities for a Convention

Video Transcript

"In this segment we're going to talk about how to book celebrities for your convention. The Internet is the best way to go. It's the best way to reach anyone that's out in the world. What you want to do is you want to try to look them up, perhaps for example, on Google. See if they have their own website. And generally they'll have some kind of email address that you can write them at. Most celebrities will want you to go through their agency. And there's a great resource for that and that's the internet movie database and that's imdb.com and you might want to pay the extra fourteen dollars to actually get into the pro system which will virtually give you the agency for any celebrity that's out there. Again, pick the celebrities that are in line with your theme. Don't pick someone who's way out. If it's a general celebrity and it doesn't fit, it may not attract the audience you're looking for. But by and large, pick your celebrities, decide who you really want, first to last. And that's very important. And then go online and you're going to find them."
