Intersection

verticals

This year, we’re focusing on issues relating to intersection and innovation. The four verticals are: earth's environment, entertainment, social impact, and the creator economy. We’re encouraging every participant to tackle the problems plaguing today’s world and innovate ideas around them.

L.A. is the home world of entertainment. This intersection will bring together technology and all forms of production to create new products and ideas.
Depiction of Social Impact's vertical
Social Impact
Let’s create new spaces and ways to deepen our understandings of the people who surround us and don’t.
