Actors Connection acting seminars are extraordinary educational/networking opportunities to meet industry guests, learn about them as people, learn about their offices, show them your work, and get their feedback.
Sometimes positive results are immediate; occasionally actors report auditions and bookings as much as a year after meeting a guest. And sometimes a meeting is simply a foot in the door, a first meeting that should be followed up periodically with correspondence and subsequent seminars. At the very least, it enables you to invite guests to your next performance, with some assurance they'll recognize your name and face. Seminars also provide great networking opportunities with fellow actors.
