Welcome to issue #014 of Emerging LA
Happy Tuesday!
Even though the weather is all over the place this week, we have many exciting events over the next few days and in the upcoming weeks!
With events ranging from founder & investor meet-ups to health tech community happy hours, there is something in store for everyone.
Last week, some big conferences took place, and we attended and took notes at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) & USC’s Southern California Blockchain Conference (SCBC).
A question for you all:
Would you be interested in a bonus issue filled with insightful notes & takeaways from these conferences?
👉 Reply and let me know!
For those who don’t know me (yet) – hello! 👋
I'm Brandon Hoffman, the founder of Emerging LA. After stints on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, I was excited to return home to Southern California in 2019 and settle in Los Angeles.
The vision for Emerging LA is an IRL community that unites people together to unlock LA’s full potential as a top emerging tech ecosystem in the world!
Enjoy the read, and see you soon.🌴
