New Emerging LA Events - June 10, 2024
The month of Grads & Dads! June is gearing up to be a busy month before everyone heads off to vacation in July.
Kids are already starting to have graduation ceremonies, and Father’s Day is this coming weekend.
Here in LA, an exciting new initiative called #EarlyStageLA is collaborating with local communities to make June a productive month of meetups & events for founders & investors around town.
This month will be busy for Emerging LA, with 4 events on the docket!
This month, there will be something for everyone, with every type of emerging technology making its way into the event themes: spatial XR, AI (yes, more AI AI AI), and blockchain digital assets.
More importantly, I love discussing how emerging tech will impact the industries and experiences that matter in our everyday lives.
I am excited about the events, which feature panelists, themes, and attendees from various industries: consumer, Media, Gaming, Design, Sports, the Future of Work, and Cybersecurity.
Hope to see you at one (or more) of the following events!
