/ About this event
Cake and Voice Capital are hosting our third annual LA Tech Week rooftop party + panel at "Kassi" at the top of Hotel Erwin. When creatives, investors, engineers and scientists come together, extraordinary things can happen.
The Panel: The Engineering of Imagination
Every serious space company in America was founded by someone who grew up on the same sci-fi books and films.
That fiction is now an engineering roadmap: moon landings, Mars architecture, orbital data centers, AI off-world.
This year’s panel puts storytellers, builders, and the capital backing both on one stage, including NASA JPL, to ask one question: is imagination still leading the technology, or has it started following?
After the panel, the party keeps going.
