Event Description
ONLY IN LA do creativity and commerce collide so beautifully, so intuitively, so successfully.

Los Angeles is the only place on the planet where a confluence of leaders from such a wide range of industries goes beyond simply co-existing. They collaborate, encourage and challenge each other, all while striving toward the same goal: innovations that generate business results.

The thinkLA 2010 Spring Conference will feature collaborators sharing their unique stories of synergy and success. It’s three days of integration and inspiration. And it’s something you
won’t want to miss.

So mark it on your calendar now. Because ONLY IN LA do you need advance notice to arrive fashionably late.



Who Should Attend
Conference attendees will represent the best and brightest senior-level management Southern California has to offer. Confirmed attendees include executive leadership from Discovery Communications, Fox, Ignited, Deutsch LA, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, and many others are pending. We look forward to seeing you out in Rancho Mirage!
