GSCA Event Policy

(formerly known as the 24-hour rule)

Updated January 29, 2025

  1. No theatrical screenings shall be allowed during GSCA events unless approved by the GSCA Executive Committee.
  2. Invitation-only theatrical screenings or demonstrations in the host theater or other venues during GSCA events must be approved by the GSCA Executive Committee and, if permitted, hosted through GSCA as a sponsorship opportunity. Private video presentations on television monitors are allowed without sponsorship during GSCA events.
  3. Private events scheduled during GSCA must not conflict with films, conference sessions, or sponsored events.
  4. The GSCA Executive Committee shall announce the official start and end time of the GSCA event at least 90 days in advance. Any private events that are not part of a GSCA sponsorship or have not been approved by the GSCA Executive Committee must conclude at least 24 hours before or begin 24 hours after the official GSCA event.
  5. If a member operates its corporate business office in the same marketplace as the conference, that member may always conduct normal business activities. (A corporate business office is defined as a facility that does not operate a public theater.)
