Meet the Power Players of The Entertainment Industry

As the year closes out, Emerging LA brings one last event to the community.

What do we have in store?

A Friday night house party!!

This is not your average holiday party… this is to celebrate the day after The Game Awards of 2024 (taking place in DTLA on Thursday).

The party will be at a private residence in West Hollywood, which is known as The Breakaway house. (Owned by one of the largest music festival companies)

I am super excited to partner with Game Over Media for this interactive event.

There will be arcades, tacos, music, a new game release trailer, and a set of lightning style chats with the Power Players.

Our discussions will be had with a strong lineup of leaders from the music industry, creator economy, and game studios.

Meet the Power Players:

• Gavi Chavez (Game Over Media) - Creative strategy leader and founder, former strategy lead at TikTok

• Anthony Pisano (Game Over Media)- Founder and entertainment strategy expert

• Clinton Sparks (Global Gaming League)- Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum music producer, songwriter, DJ, and visionary entrepreneur
