ICTA Los Angeles Seminar Series

The 2027 series opens at 6:00 pm on Monday 11 January with the dinner reception, followed by two days of sessions and off-site visits. Details are on the ICTA event page.

ICTA's group rate at the Universal Hilton is booked through the Hilton group booking page or with group code ICTA27. ICTA has not published the room rate or the cut-off date, so book early.

The call for presentations and technical papers closes on 18 November 2026; the format is set out in the submission guidelines. ICTA has not published delegate fees or a public registration link. Ask ICTA through its contact page about attending as a non-member.

Most exhibition conventions give technology a show floor and a panel or two. The ICTA Los Angeles Seminar Series is the reverse: the whole programme is about the technologies behind the cinema experience. It opens with a casual dinner reception on the Monday evening, followed by two days of seminar sessions and off-site visits.

The agenda is built from member submissions — presentations, panels, technical papers and off-site suggestions — and for 2027 ICTA ran its call for presentations from late August to mid-November 2026. That makes it a good place to hear from peers about real installations rather than product pitches alone.

It is built for the people who spec, install and maintain the booth and auditorium: chief engineers, technical directors, integrators and manufacturers. An owner of a small independent may find it too specialised; an operator planning a projection, sound or automation refresh will find the concentration of expertise hard to match. ICTA holds a room block at the Universal Hilton for delegates.
