The Future of Pickleball - An LA Tech Week Roundtable
You know that parable about asking five blind guys what an elephant looks like? It depended on what part of the beast they were touching—such as the elephant’s trunk, ear, leg, tail or hairy belly—individually not an accurate description. But collectively, it’s instructive.
What’s the Pickleball business look like in SoCal? It depends on your vantage point:
• Tech Innovators
• Club Owners
• Tournament Directors
• Coaches
• Investors
• Merchandisers
• Influencers
All have different perspectives. No one of them accurately describes the Pickleball ‘elephant’.
That’s why DinkSmart is hosting an industry round table to invite the lens of technology into the room as a problem-solving tool as we share insights and perspectives.
You’re invited to a two-hour Pickleball symposium to share your point of view about the Pickleball Industry's present & future. Across all lanes, verticals, business models and areas of expertise. No main speakers, gurus, self-anointed mavens. Your voice as part of a select group of PB business leaders is what we want to hear.

Longevity Tech: Executive Edge Mode
Playa Vista

The Reason Longevity AI, Monarch Athletic Club
Leadership today is a high-performance sport.
The most effective executives aren’t just managing teams and capital—they’re managing their own biology. Come to hear from experts in physiology, life science, and AI-driven health intelligence will decode the metrics that truly shape executive performance.
On stage: Anastasia Sartan
She built companies since most people were still figuring out student loans. Scaled teams from 5 to 100. Ran product at Snapchat. Then decided building one company wasn’t enough — so she built three.
Today, she’s CEO of GetGenAI — an AI-first inspector that can check anything against any standard in seconds (think FDA labels, legal docs, your next press release). She’s also the force behind Hire5 and TheCycle.
We’ll talk about:
-- Cognitive and physiological load for executives
-- Metrics that matter: from HRV to focus and fatigue, cutting through the noise to what drives sustainable leadership.
-- Real-time feedback loops: leveraging stress and recovery data to make smarter decisions under pressure.
-- Elite-athlete tools for the boardroom: translating proven performance systems into practical routines for tech and business leaders.
-- The future of longevity intelligence: how to map aging with your DNA and build a precision roadmap to not just slow decline, but extend high performance—powered by AI.
Forget the handshake wrap‑up—our finale is a Monarch signature high‑intensity training experience designed for leaders who treat fitness as a strategic advantage. It’s equal parts challenge and thrill, tailored to test resilience, fire up endorphins, and prove that peak performance doesn’t end in the boardroom.
