SAM Preccelerator Presents
Location:Santa Monica
SAM Preccelerator Presents. Numerous technology trends and shifts over the last 10+ years have driven how people interact with and consume information. One common trend of successful products and services, regardless of their place in thedigital or physical worlds of consumers, is that consumers demand products be aware of “who” they are, what their “individual” needs are and create an emotional bond with the product. Despite this, too many start-ups work on the assumption that the consumer will discover their product or apps’ real value and their start-up will be able to pivot to success. This talk is a crash course on creating products that have a clear end-to-end value proposition and design strategy, and will demonstrate that an understanding of storytelling, trust and a full range of emotions can be designed into any product from the start.

Peter Coffee's Annual Forecast on Technology
Location:Los Angeles
Peter Coffee's Annual Forecast on Technology. AITP. The more we know about how things work, the more we are likely to look for ways to do those things better, faster, and cheaper – rather than doing something fundamentally different. When we look back from the 2020’s at this century’s early years, it is possible that we will pick some year right around…2013…as the turning point when we decided to do a number of things in an essentially different way. In this year’s edition of Peter Coffee’s annual dinner with AITP and ACM, he will be looking at a number of disciplines— computing, communications, data management, and information security among others— and illuminating the massive disruptions already taking shape around us. Please join us for both interactive pre-dinner conversation and after-dinner formal remarks. See http://www.aitp-la.org

Mobile LAVA: Creating and Selling Solutions for Local Businesses
Location:Santa Monica
Mobile LAVA: Creating and Selling Solutions for Local Businesses. There are thousands of small businesses in Los Angeles County representing just about every category imaginable - from beauty salons to attorneys, restaurants to house painters, boutique retailers to local franchisees. Virtually all of these businesses are affected in some way by the ubiquitous smartphone-owning consumer, and they all feel the pressure to reach and engage those consumers through mobile. Amidst this still poorly met demand there exist huge opportunities for entrepreneurs. Of course, the size of the demand creates competition among startups and among large established players. The next installment of Mobile LAVA will examine the local small business environment, B2B and B2C mobile app strategies, and how different mobile technologies (geo-fencing, Beacon, text messaging, in-app messaging, and 3rd party directories) can work together to solve SMB challenges.

Educelerate LA
Location:Santa Monica
Emerging Trends in Online Video Learning. Educelerate LA. Driven by the wave of investment in and by MOOCs and learn to code sites, the education and venture capital communities have recently rediscovered video-based learning. After a decade of focus on less bandwidth and production intensive text based learning (driven by the massive scaling at the University of Phoenix), the explosion of interest in online video-based learning is seen in the fact that over the past few years just ten digital video players Codecademy, Coursera, CreativeLive, Lynda, OpenEnglish, Pluralsight, StormWind, Treehouse, Udacity, Udemy have collectively raised $425 million in venture capital! Join the leaders of several online video related education technology start-ups for a discussion on emerging trends in online video-based learning. Panelists will also share on their founder's stories. See http://www.meetup.com/EducelerateLA/events/180085812/
