The annual Upfront Summit hosts more than 1,000 top investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders for an invitation-only event in Los Angeles. Forget what you think you know about tech conferences - with two days of compelling content, conversation, and connection, our Summit showcases the best of technology, innovation, and creativity, from established global brands to bleeding edge disruptors. We take on meaningful subjects with true thought-leaders: past speakers include Steve Ballmer, Meg Whitman, Brian Stelter, Emilie Choi, John Legend, Ron Conway, Mark Cuban, Magic Johnson, Reese Witherspoon, Stacey Abrams, and Ice Cube - just to name a few. And it's a lot of fun - it is LA, after all.
