So you think LA doesn't have a tech scene, well, I'm here to prove you wrong. I'd like to introduce myself to you. I'm heathervescent. I organize unforgettable ephemeral experiences. I connect people. I follow cutting edge technology. I enable people and companies to become Successful. I want you to kick ass. I want LA to KICK ASS. Oh wait, LA already kicks ass. Come play with us anyway.
This is a list of the various tech events I have uncovered in the past 3 years. Some of them I have organized. Many of them I/the geek dinner has inspired or helped launch. There is something for everyone. Pick your flavor and JUMP IN!

Under coworking/community there's a great arts community in MidCity LA that I and a dozen other tech/design/arts/healthy living leaders share....we offer free creative space to other community groups in need of a place to meet or work. We share by barter/giving and look forward to meeting other tech<3 in the area or hosting an event for this community.
