current & future events
On Saturday, 25 February 2012, IBG and The Relational Center will join forces for the second year in a row to host a lovely wine tasting and silent auction event in Beverly Hills, CA. As a special treat, Bistro Blends will be on hand to offer samples of different barrel aged balsamic vinegars and infused olive oils. Tickets are $25 each in advance or $35 each on the day of the event. Event address will be furnished upon purchase.
 This ongoing series brings together fans and some of the most successful producers, directors, writers and actors working today. The one hour Los Angeles-based event consists of both moderated discussion and open floor questions. In an effort to promote discussion and create a unique atmosphere for our guests, a limited number of tickets will be made available for each event [advanced tickets will be made available through the "Friends of IBG" program]. Proceeds from each session will be donated to a charity chosen by the participating speaker.

November 2011 July 2011 On Saturday, 30 July 2011, IBG gathered in Beverly Hills for a special, extended version of our ongoing Conversation Series, featuring former The X-Files co-stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, along with special guest, creator of The X-Files Chris Carter, to raise money for SA-YES. Unlike other Conversation Series events, this time there was no moderator - instead, Gillian and David asked each other questions, and engaged in a real conversation that was both hilarious and poignant. They were later joined by Chris Carter, and the three chatted and answered questions from the audience. After the main portion, VIP ticket holders had the opportunity to partake in an autograph session with Gillian and Chris, and those who purchased separate photo tickets received one-on-one posed photos with Gillian Anderson!! There were also meet-and-greets prior to the event, and two lucky raffle winners also received the opportunity to head backstage for their own brief meeting with Gillian and David. Inspired by the creative opportunities to raise money for SA-YES, Gillian surprised those awaiting their one-on-one photos with her by ducking into the room and auctioning off the paper she'd printed her questions for David on, offering to sign it and personalize the message!! Over 32,000 USD has been raised from this event thus far, with upcoming auctions of signed memorabilia to come. May 2011 On Sunday, 22 May 2011, IBG gathered in Beverly Hills for the first Conversation Series of 2011, featuring prolific actor Mitch Pileggi, moderated by Give Me My Remote's Marisa Roffman. As is practice with this event series, only a small number of tickets were sold, and guests were treated to an entertaining hour of stories, reminiscences [two of Pileggi's high school buddies from Turkey were in attendance!!] and insight into the crazy business of show from an actor who has been working consistently for 30 years.
