Encouraging the GROWTH and SUCCESS of technology-based
entrepreneurial ventures in Southern California
Upcoming Events
Applied Machine Learning and AI Advancing Human Health
Discover how AI is revolutionizing drug discovery, biologics design, and care delivery, with innovation accelerating at unprecedented speed. AI is compressing timelines, reducing costs, improving precision, and personalizing care across the entire life sciences and healthcare value chain, from molecule to patient. For founders, scientists, and industry leaders, the focus is no longer “what’s possible?” but “what’s working in the lab, the clinic, and the market now.” This event unites leading researchers, startup founders, and industry operators advancing innovation at the intersection of computation and biology, from the Southern California ecosystem to the global stage.
Please note Forum events now start at 10 am.
