Good questions
What is NextGen?+

Who is it for?+
Students and members of the broader Los Angeles community who are curious about where technology is headed. No background required, just curiosity.
When and where is NextGen?+
Saturday, January 23, 2027 in Los Angeles. Venue details are announced soon. Doors open at 9:00 AM.
What is the attire?+
Business casual. You’ll be moving between the main stage, breakout rooms and the demo floor, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
What will the day look like?+
Doors open at 9:00 AM. The day opens on the main stage with the keynote, then splits into panels and breakout sessions where the audience does the questioning. Between sessions, tech demos put emerging hardware in your hands, and the startup hall is open all day to meet founders building what’s next.
