Our collaborators produce events that cover four main topics: design\, science\, technology\, and entrepreneurship. Events include panels\, competitions\, conferences\, seminars\, open houses\, exhibitions\, fairs\, hackathons\, lectures\, meetups\, networking\, pitches\, presentations\, speaker series\, mixers\, tradeshows\, workshops and even more! We invite the broader Los Angeles community to join us as we come together to share knowledge\, showcase innovative products\, and discuss new advancements and ideas. \n\n\n\nWhat began as a small spark has continued to grow and spread\, igniting Pasadena’s innovation community. Connect events have opened doors\, uncovered new ideas\, forged strong partnerships\, educated the pubic\, and inspired new innovators.  \n\n\n\nYet even with some of the world’s leading science\, research\, design\, and cultural institutions\, Pasadena has remained hidden in the background of the Los Angeles innovation scene. That’s why Innovate Pasadena launched Connect\, a festival of independently organized talks\, workshops\, and social events produced by independent organizers and hosted in venues all across Pasadena. During Connect Week we invite entrepreneurs\, engineers\, investors\, scientists\, educators\, businesspeople\, designers\, and students to unite and celebrate the creativity and ingenuity that’s right here in our own backyard.

Breakout Group Themes and Synthesis \n\n\n\nCheck out the summary report of what was discussed. \n\n\n\nLeadership Forum Overview\n\n\n\nOur annual regional planning workshop focused on uniting and catalyzing the leadership of Southern California’s diverse and compelling innovation nodes which define the SoCal innovation network. To accomplish this\, we convened a diverse cross section of leaders from across the region for a professionally facilitated one-day intensive workshop to generate clarity of purpose\, goals\, and a coordinated strategy to tackle shared challenges and opportunities. \n\n\n\nThere are common challenges and opportunities that unite the often fragmented\, geographically dispersed hubs of innovation throughout Southern California. The Alliance’s analysis of the region\, in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group\, revealed that there is need to coordinate these compelling pockets of innovation to address common issues. We believe there is extraordinary value in aligning best practices\, external messaging\, and delivery of services and resources to harness the collective potential of the region’s innovation assets to make Southern California the next great innovation ecosystem.  \n\n\n\nWe heard:\n\n\n\n• How the California Governor offices support innovation in SoCal with funding and targeted programs. Speaker: Christopher Earl @ CA Gov / SBA. • Diversity in tech/VC – the latest results from the PledgeLA Survey from Calvin Selth @ AnnenbergTech • How Sunstone Management is supporting startups and innovation through investments in regional accelerator programs.
