About this event

AFTER HOUR - LA Tech Week 2026 🎉

AFTER HOUR is bringing together the people behind LA’s tech scene for a night of real conversations, new connections, music, drinks, and good energy during LA Tech Week.

Founders, engineers, designers, product people, investors, creators, operators, and everyone building around tech are invited. No panels. No pitches. No awkward networking agenda. Just a room full of interesting people connecting beyond the screen.

Come meet someone new, reconnect with people you know, talk about what you're building—or don't talk about work at all.

➡️ Get offline. Get social. Meet the people behind tech.
