The Television Academy has just announced the launch of "Televerse," its first-ever festival dedicated to all things television. The festival will add a new dimension to the celebration of the small screen and offer fans and voters “unprecedented access” to Emmy-nominated shows.

“Televerse” is set to take place from Aug. 14 to 15 at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, right before the final-round Emmy voting starts on August 18. But the TV Academy’s event won’t just be for Emmy campaigning; the festival will also be consumer-facing, allowing non-members to attend.

According to the Academy, plans are in progress with partners at every studio, network, platform, and tech company to present “insider discussions, meet-and-greets, interactive exhibits, premieres, and previews of upcoming programs” at this festival. 

Emmy voters attending Televerse will have access to Television Academy-sanctioned “For Your Consideration” panels featuring this year’s Emmy nominees in key program categories before the final round of Emmy voting.

“This is an exciting time in the evolution of television and the Academy, and our members are at the forefront of cutting-edge production and innovative storytelling,” said Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. “We will bring the best in the business together for Televerse, deliver remarkable access to a wide range of programming, and provide an extraordinary forum for the exchange of new ideas and industry innovation.”

The festival will offer insights from award-winning artisans and craftspeople and exclusive previews of new programming. An immersive event space will give attendees an interactive way to experience television and close the distance between creators and fans.

Attendees can pre-register by May 30, 2025.
