Can I work from the venue?

We know work can’t always pause, so we’ve reserved a private room next to the event space for any calls you may need to take.

What are the plans for lunch?

Lunch will be held on Hotel Erwins rooftop (Venice Beach’s only rooftop restaurant)—enjoy great food with stunning ocean views.

Where can I park?

Parking in LA can be tricky, so we’re offering complimentary parking at the venue, Hotel Erwin.
