Los Angeles, CA — On January 29-31, 2014 Kai Tao hosted the first-ever DiscoverMe leadership summit in Los Angeles at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. DiscoverMe is an event that features the most prominent leaders in technology, finance, and media discussing the ways content creators and businesses are leveraging the crowd to scale their audiences and grow to the next level.
This invite only event featured a select group of leaders typically invited as speakers at SXSW, CES, and TED events networking and having discussions among a peer group without the distraction of a mass market event.
Discussions focused on next level conversation and in depth experiences for industry specific businesses in regards to technology and media trends. Panel sessions took a look behind the scenes of game changing platforms like AngelList and CrowdTilt who are revolutionizing the traditional funding model.
