DiscoverMe will be hosting its first forum in Los Angeles this January. The gathering will feature discussions on the impact crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and new media play in transforming the current business landscape, bringing together over 500 inspirational creators, founders, and investors to participate in boundary-breaking conversation while forming valuable new relationships. The three-day gathering will go behind-the-scenes of the unique experiences that push the limits of innovation and success for companies like CrowdTilt, Rally.org, Crowdflower, Rockethub, Karmaloop, Stageit, Basis and Ouya. Participants will offer real-world experience and share their best practices for value creation through innovation.
The invite-only forum will primarily consist of fireside chats and breakout sessions, engaging attendees in conversation on how to remain competitive and relevant in an ever changing business landscape. The small group format encourages interactivity and relationship building among peers, where each participant contributes value added knowledge.
