Passes for the 2025 Sun Valley Writers’ Conference go on sale at 10 a.m. Mountain Time on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
The tickets, which some years have sold out in minutes, are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Sun Valley Writers conference website at https://svwc.com/attend.
This year’s conference features such speakers as Doris Kearns Goodwin, Ruth Reichl, Max Boot, Griffin Dunne, Colum McCann, Liz Moore and Ocean Vuong.
Two types of passes will be offered—a Full Conference Pass for $1,100 and a half-price Next Generation Pass for those 35 and under for $550.
Both include Pavilion talks, intimate breakout sessions, breakfasts and lunches and a closing reception on the Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.
If passes sell out, a waitlist will open on the SVWC website—and they do typically get cancellations.
A person is restricted to two Full Conference Passes and two Next Generation Passes.
Those wishing to cancel their pass purchase before May 15 can receive a refund, minus a $35 transaction fee. Refunds will not be issued after that date, but people may transfer a pass to another person.
Later, there will be an opportunity to purchase single event tickets. Book lovers may also attend free Pavilion lawn talks during the event, catch the free Community Speaker Series at The Community Library or attend the Live Watch Party at The Argyros in Ketchum.
