I RSVP'd! Does that mean I'm all set?
Your RSVP puts you on the list for free general admission, but here's the thing: we have nearly 1,000 beautiful humans who've said they're coming, and we want to be super transparent with you. RSVPs don't guarantee entry since we're welcoming everyone on a first-come, first-served basis and space is limited.
Our advice is to arrive early (especially during peak times!) and/or grab a ticket to one of the programming sessions to guarantee your spot. We don't want anyone to be disappointed—this weekend is all about celebrating together.
What's the scoop on tickets vs. RSVPs?
Think of it this way: RSVPs get you in the door (space permitting), while tickets ($20) are your golden ticket! With a ticket, you get:
-Guaranteed entry 30 minutes before your programming session
-A seat at one of our four incredible panel conversations
-A Cherry Bombe tote bag
-Access to a faster, separate entry line
Tell me about the programs—they sound amazing!
We've curated four conversations that are perfect for this Galentine's/Valentine's celebration:
Friday, Feb. 13th:
-12:30-1:30 p.m.: Eat Your Heart Out with Chloé Crane-Leroux, Samah Dada & Romilly Newman
-3:00-4:00 p.m.: Natasha Pickowicz & Annie Shi in Conversation
Saturday, Feb. 14th:
-11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.: Boys We Love: A Panel on Food, Life & Relationships with Woldy Reyes, Peter Som, and Ham El-Waylly
-2:30-3:30 p.m.: Padma Lakshmi in Conversation with Kerry Diamond
Each panel is just $20 and honestly? It's the best date you could plan for yourself or someone you love this weekend!
What about the book signings?
Some of our talent will be signing copies of their cookbooks after their panels. All of the book signings are free and open to the public (no ticket required). Our bookstore partner, Kitchen Arts & Letters, will be onsite with copies for sale. The book signing schedule is:

Will it be crowded? Should I worry about lines?
We want to be real with you: yes, there will likely be lines, especially during peak times and panel hours. That's just how loved this community is! Ticket holders will have a separate line that moves faster, which takes some of the stress away. Our suggestion? If you're coming with an RSVP, try to arrive when we open (12 p.m. Friday or 10 a.m. Saturday) or during off-peak times. And if you want peace of mind, get a ticket to one of the programming sessions!
Can I still get tickets?
Yes! But don’t delay, we are close to selling out for each session. The $20 ticket provides guaranteed entry, a seat at an amazing conversation, and the good feeling of supporting this incredible community. Get your ticket here.
