It’s also about the social events and parties!
PubClub.com posts the best of the events that are open to the public for Sundance 2020, which is Thursday, Jan. 23-Sunday Feb. 2 in Park City, Utah.

Empowering Every Voice in Film and the World Panel
When: January 24, 3-4 p.m.
Where: Kimball Art Center; 1401 Kearns Blvd, Park City, UT 84060
About: Now is the time to empower and inspire everyone to share their story. It’s only when we experience new perspectives through the lens of someone else’s experience that true change happens. But we know that everyone’s story is not being told. When the lens is skewed, it offers a tilted view of society and unrepresented groups cannot envision themselves as the creative voices driving the most watched stories. And that is a problem for the industry and the world. Join this lively discussion with stand-out filmmakers on how to bring your own unique voice to life.
The Art of Editing Reception
When: January 28, 1-3 p.m.
Where: The Shop; 1167 Woodside Ave, Park City, UT 84060
About: Adobe and Sundance celebrate the amazing work of the editing community and dedication to their craft at the annual Sundance Film Festival Art of Editing Reception, sponsored by Adobe. Open by invitation only.
Sundance Ignite Private Screening, Presented by Adobe
When: January 29, 8:30-10 p.m.

About: Adobe is again partnering with Sundance Ignite, a program that identifies and supports new voices and talent from the next generation of filmmakers (ages 18-25). Adobe will present a private screening Some Kind of Heaven, from this year’s NEXT category and directed by Ignite Fellow Lance Oppenheim. Open by invitation only.
Latinix House Parties, Brunches & Panels
The Latinx House, an initiative founded byMónica Ramirez, Olga Segura and Alex Kondracke Martinez, has a weekend of events from January 24-26, including parties, brunches, and panels.

PubClub.com Additional Recommendations
PubClub also recommends walking up and down Main Street in Park City and seeing what other films you can see and parties you can attend. Going into one of the films or bars can be a good way to learn about social events and public parties as you meet and mingle with people.
And who knows, maybe you’ll even get invited to a private event.
One of the top trends at Sundance this year, by the way, are “powerful documentaries.”

The best advice is to contact them directly, either in advance or on site.
Wow, I would absolutely love to attend the Sundance Festival. Even in the winter. Say hello to all my celeb friends.
You would certainly enjoy it. And if you ski, the slopes are wide open because everyone is at Sundance!
