HOLA 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 edition was sent out a little late due to me catching a cold while I was snowboarding Mammoth. So my apologies for the late edition but it seems like this week is filled with a wide variety of events ranging from panel discussions, happy hours, to Media Tech Events on the red carpet. So there’s a little bit in store for everyone. But if I missed your event please feel free to email me at [email protected], it may take me a little while to respond but just know that I will! 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 January 24th - January 31th, 2024!

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