The purpose of SIF 2015 special launch event is to build a leading premier network of young leaders and elite professionals all over the world, and to set the tone for this year’s SoCal Innovation Forum. Each selected top industry innovators will give a short “TED Talk” under the topic of Disruption: Technology Change. The talk will be followed by a networking reception.
SoCal Innovation Forum (SIF) is the most influential cross-border forum integrating Chinese and American resources in Southern California’s entrepreneur community. SIF not only gathers top ventures and entrepreneurs, but also celebrates LA tech, entertainment and startups with panels, keynotes, mixers, and more. The goal of SIF is to connect the best of China and LA’s entrepreneur ecosystem, including VCs, startups, and talents.
