The AI Goldrush & Shifting Goalposts
In the race to build and deploy AI, speed often wins out over common sense. If you aren’t using models where you can rely on the results then you’re just generating pithy memes. While memes are fun, building useful things that inspire results and progress is far more rewarding.
Join this day of artificial intelligence reality, hear from the people who are driving valuable use cases at scale with AI everyday including leading researchers, engineers, and business executives as they go through the strategic approaches that distill the gold from the rush.
This event will include panels, live demonstrations of tools, specific AI practical strategies that work at scale, agentic AI deep dive, and... a happy hour with a brilliant DJ at the legendary Mach Sennett Studios.
Discussions
1. It’s All About the Data, Darling.
Incomplete, mislabeled, or stale datasets quietly accumulate “interest” that degrade model accuracy, bloat maintenance costs, and spit upon trust. What happens when these models hit the data ceiling?
Experts share real-world discussions about how a sharp focus on the data that is going into… or exposed to your AI system is the most important thing. From bias reduction via 100s of thousands of humans in a panel, to a targeted start focused squarely on image capture, to an AI agentic architecture that cleans while it freshens…
(Live Demo)
2. Unlearn Your AI Assumptions
You haven’t heard this discussion before, we go deep into how AI models drive value against specific workflows that are integral to product ready use cases.
(Live Demo)
3. Delivering Value with AI
The reason so many companies are hitting pilot purgatory with AI strategies is because they are measuring the wrong things. AI can help with cost savings… but it’s often a very hard metric to prove as it optimizes tasks that aren’t usually measured anyway.
So, how do you measure, when do you release, how do you go to market, and what should your investment in AI look like.
Join this fireside chat with experts who have been delivering value with AI for +10 years and grab some takeaways that focus on common sense and measurable results that are game changing from any business. Hear real examples of challenges and how overcoming them drove productization that includes AI models and hits KPIs alongside ROI.
Takeaways:
Practical insights, battle-tested frameworks, and a clearer picture of how to balance rapid innovation with the discipline required to make AI the long term amplifier of human creativity that we all need.
Schedule:
6-8PM - Panels and live AI demos
8-10PM - DJ and Happy Hour

In Good Company: Pitch-A-Founder
Santa Monica

The Neon White, Codi Tech, Zendevr
Tired of the same old pitch events? So are we. That’s why we’re bringing something new to LA Tech Week.
In Good Company: Pitch-A-Founder is a novel networking event that transforms traditional business pitching by focusing on the human story behind the entrepreneur rather than the business metrics. Inspired by the viral "Pitch-A-Friend" dating format, this event creates an intimate yet dynamic environment where the character, values, and journey of founders take center stage.
Here’s how it works: Throughout the night, we’ll host two sessions featuring three dynamic speakers each. But instead of pitching their own startup, each speaker has 3–5 minutes (with a PowerPoint deck) to pitch a founder—a peer they admire, a friend, a family member—focusing on their story, their character, and what makes them someone worth backing.
The result? An engaging, high-energy evening that goes beyond features and benefits and highlights the human side of entrepreneurship. By centering on the person behind the company, we give everyone an even more compelling reason to believe in their venture.
We have a couple more spots left for nominees, submit your application here: https://lafsc.club/la-tech-week-lafsc.
Come for the bar, stay for the stories, and leave ready to be in good company.
