    On this special event, co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (This Is Us, Love, Simon) share how they craft each season's episodes, from plotting the layered character arcs to navigating through multiple timelines, how they run the writers room, and all the lessons they've learned along the way. Moderated by Yvonne Villarreal of the Los Angeles Times

    Doors open at 7pm. Event starts at 7:30pm.
