International Ideas on Santa Monica Stage:

Second Annual IDEAS Los Angeles Conference at the Broad Stage.

American Friends of Tel Aviv University, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Israel’s largest institution of higher learning, is hosting its second annual IDEAS Los Angeles Conference, focusing on the future of digital technology in media, entertainment, lifestyle and health, June 15-16, at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica. 

Hundreds of global industry leaders, including a select group of speakers, panelists, and moderators, will gather at IDEAS LA (Israel, Digital, Entrepreneurs, Arts, and Science) to discuss the world’s most exciting innovations and how rapidly knowledge, products and business are emerging out of each of these categories.

“We are thrilled to bring together dynamic thought-leaders and startups from the world’s most innovative cities, offering engaging presentations and networking opportunities that attendees will not want to miss,” said David Dorfman, Executive Director of IDEAS Los Angeles. “IDEAS Los Angeles offers a unique gathering of ideas in a fun and interactive setting that is sure to inspire all of us to think deeply and more creatively as we look at the future of digital technology.”  

Partnering with dozens of corporations, private businesses, community organizations, institutes of higher learning and media outlets to present the annual global conference, IDEAS LA brings together three of the most successful entrepreneurial ecosystems in the world – Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv – including entrepreneurs, policy makers, investors and influencers, in addition to studio heads, movie and television producers, healthcare providers, doctors, university professors and more, according to organizers.

Last year’s inaugural conference attracted more than 700 attendees, from company heads to budding filmmakers and techies, and featured dozens of TED Talk-style lectures, panel discussions, workshops and digital startup presentations.

The multi-faceted, two-day conference will allow attendees to create their own itinerary of renowned speaker presentations while offering the opportunity to network with entrepreneurs, innovators and investors across industries.
