Marhabaan IRL LA! We are back to dropping a new IRL LA edition every Tuesday at 1pm (PST) to help you all keep up to date with everything that’s going on in LA. This week we have a ton of events going and I’m confident to say that it’s an upgrade from IRL LA’s previous edition. With events ranging from Happy Hours to private dinners, to dance parties, there is something in store for everyone.

And remember, that I recently partnered with Jonathan Chang and Zehra Naqvi to launch this newsletter series to help startup ecosystems stay informed about the latest tech events happening in the cities of SF, LA, and NYC. So if you’re planning to visit any of those cities this year, make sure to subscribe to their newsletters below to keep informed about all the latest events and make sure to stay tune with LA IRL as we have some exciting events being planned for 2024. But without further ado, lets check this weeks exciting events for Feb 20th - Feb 27th, 2024!

PS - Esteban’s choice for events of the week will be highlighted! 😎
