Fall is sneaking up on us faster than it usually seems to. As members of LA's tech community return from their much-deserved vacations, it seems that the slate of events going on this week is busier than usual. Here's what we're going to check out.
TEDxUCLA Salon: From Struggle to Success, July 31 at 6:30 p.m.
This week, UCLA is hosting a TEDx conference, and the lineup is absolutely stacked. From Peter Loo, CIO of the County of Los Angeles, to Megan Cramer Fillinich, CTO of Naval Surface Warfare Center, this is one event you certainly do not want to miss out on.
Culver City Tech Happy Hour Launch!, August 2 at 6 p.m.
You don't need to be in Santa Monica, DTLA or West Hollywood to enjoy a good old-fashioned tech happy hour anymore. This Wednesday, LA Tech Happy Hour is launching the first of many Culver City happy hours at The Detour Bistro Bar in Culver West. Stop by for a cocktail or two and stay for the great conversations to be had.
"Ask Me Anything" w/ Universal Music Group's Director of Product, August 2 at 6:30 p.m.
Anyone interested in finding out what a project manager at one of the biggest record labels in the world does should definitely head over to the Product School in Santa Monica this week. Hear Heba Asmar, director of product and campaign ops at Universal Music Group, talk about what it takes to land a product management job as well as her day-to-day duties and challenges.
Building Low Cost On Demand Apps w/ Elementz's Sr Product Owner, August 3 at 6:30 p.m.
If the requirements for building a successful tech startup included a background in mobile development, many of the top startups in LA wouldn't exist. This week, Niall McSheffrey of Elementz Interactive, a digital product agency based in Santa Monica, will host an event to discuss all of the factors needed to build a legitimate MVP.
Startup Game Changers Panel – Los Angeles 2017, August 4 at 11:30 a.m.
The fundraising process is quite foreign to most first-time entrepreneurs. This week, a panel of venture capitalists, financial consultants, bankers and lawyers will assemble to discuss everything you need to know about the fundraising process, from the terminology to the term sheets.
Have a great week, and be sure to check out our events calendar for more LA tech events!
