Welcome back to LA LA Land,

Hi frens! This week is jampacked with events! Truth be told, I kinda went down the rabbit hole and found a ton of events. It’s amazing the diversity in events coming out these days. Maybe it’s the warm weather? Or the overcast like we’re San Francisco. In either case, you’ve all got the pick of the litter for events. There’s even some pretty cool AI events this week too.

Also, I’ve been thinking about featuring event organizers, entrepreneurs, and people in the tech, entertainment, and media scenes in LA. The intention being to build up the LA builders community more and more. I’ll put the interviews at the bottom of this newsletter. If you can think of anyone you think I should feature, let me know!

Thanks for reading, Minh Do

P.S. Btw, please feel free to share this newsletter with your friends in LA!
