Somehow AI manages to be one overhyped and underhyped at the same time. I am working under the operating assumption that none of us really understand how it will affect our lives over the next decade.

Harry McCracken, Global Technology Editor at Fast Company, “Hot Take” for our LA Summit

Hi everyone! Dani here, Founder of Artist and the Machine. I wanted to drop a line and say hello personally to our LA community, and share why we truly can’t wait to host you in just one month’s time.

We’re at a turning point in history, and it feels like every day this space is moving exponentially faster - November 2025 in Los Angeles is on the midst of major change and overhaul at the intersection of industry and technology. LA has always been the heart of creativity, entertainment, and big dreams. Yet it’s an immensely polarizing time - what we knew of the creative industries is evolving at an unprecedented rate. We are living through a moment we will never forget. And it’s more important than ever to gather together, IRL.

This past April, we hosted our first-ever AI & Creativity Summit in NY for 300 carefully curated individuals in the big apple - and now we can’t wait to bring it back to our birthplace, Los Angeles. Here’s some of the candid feedback you all shared with us about the NY Summit that we can’t wait for you to experience again -

“The Room Was Electric”

“One of the best AI-focused events I've attended yet... light on the speculation and heavy on tangible examples and outcomes.”

“Spectacular - best event of the year by far!”

“It's like the homecoming of all creative people.”

“So well curated - even better than the Time100.”

“It was a grand display, network power, effects and relevant insights. Seemed like a seed to something large. Potent.”

Attendee Feedback around our NY Summit on April 24, 2025

In one week’s time, our Early Bird Pricing will end. Even sooner, we’ll reveal Agenda, Headline Speakers & Sponsors, Venue walkthroughs that will blow your mind. Space will get tight. I’m serious - we cannot physically fit everyone that wants to attend while maintaining the integrity of our intimate, heavily curated Summit. 

So if you’re planning to join us, don’t wait. We’re pleased to extend 20% off exclusively to recipients of this email - use code LA20 between now and Friday.
