For the second year in a row, we will be hosting a Live Watch Party of SVWC 2025 content at The Argyros theater in downtown Ketchum! This July 19-21, we will broadcast select talks from the Conference throughout the day (schedule is TBD—speakers will be announced in June). Passes are only $25 per day and will go on sale via our website on June 23. We will have SVWC gift items for purchase, special guest appearances, drinks, music, and more. 

We developed the Live Watch Party in 2024, due to overwhelming demand for our full passes, Pavilion Talk tickets, and other free programs—all of which typically fill up in minutes. Since our venues have limited space, we want to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy SVWC content at a variety of different price points—so we created yet another offering to accommodate the overflow of Wood River Valley booklovers. This is also a great option for those who would like to escape the sun and heat (the theater will be air-conditioned), who are hearing impaired, or who would like to avoid large crowds due to health concerns. 

As always, certain Pavilion talks will be available for free lawn seating, free livestreaming, and free online viewing after the Conference. Learn more about all of our free events and community programs and subscribe to our email newsletter for important updates and announcements about these events.
