Our StrictlyVC event is coming to Los Angeles! Our ultimate insider salon — think classic cocktail party with killer content — takes place on February 29.

You’ll hear incredible interviews with, and get insider insights from, top movers and shakers from Silicon Valley and beyond. Discover emerging trends, and expand your network in a relaxed atmosphere over delicious bites and beverages throughout the evening.

Tickets cost $150 — don’t wait to reserve yours. Our San Francisco event sold out in a flash, and this one will, too.
