Head down to Santa Monica this Tuesday night for the first-ever Athena.LA mixer, hosted by the SAM Preccelerator program. It's a great opportunity to mingle with the best and brightest women in tech, from product pros to devs and even a few financial analysts.

10th Annual Digital Family Reunion, Wednesday, December 6 at 4 p.m.
The Digital Family Reunion is turning 10 and is celebrating this Wednesday night in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. This year's theme is "envisioning LA tech in 2027," and it will feature a panel discussion, an accelerator and incubator alley, an area dedicated to AR and VR demos, and many, many more activities to choose from.
Sports Tech Meetup, December 6 at 6 p.m
The counties of Los Angeles and Orange are home to nine (soon to be 10) professional sports teams, and our rich history of success — the Dodgers' unsuccessful run at the World Series this year notwithstanding — is well known. This week, the StubHub Center will play host to the SportsTechie Los Angeles holiday mixer. Join representatives from local startups and AEG for a night of discussion about, well, sports.
Winter Tech Mixer, Thursday, December 7 at 7 p.m.
This Thursday, Tech In Motion, the group responsible for the Timmy Awards, is hosting its final event of 2017 on the Santa Monica Pier. Sponsors such as Boingo Wireless will be on hand to celebrate another wildly successful year for LA tech. RSVP while there's still space available!
