Welcome to issue #018 of Emerging LA
Last week, we had a wonderful event with CogX for the VC & Family Office meetup in Century Plaza. Thank you to all who attended!
I had a nice rejuvenating weekend with back-to-back hot yoga sessions on Saturday and Sunday, and I am ready for the next two weeks ahead, which will be busy, busy, busy.
FarCon is coming to LA this week, bringing many of the best blockchain builders to town!
Our AI & Web3 event will be held this Friday during the conference weekend. I am extremely excited to have this high-quality panel (revealed below) discuss these two technologies and how they will impact industries and everyday life.
Next week, the CogX Festival will be on Tuesday. There is a chance I will put together a panel and moderate on the big stage! (Stay tuned)
I will attend the Milken Conference for the first time on Wednesday! Please reach out to anyone attending.
I hope to see you all this Friday or in the upcoming week!
For those who don’t know me (yet) – hello! 👋
