The Equities Emerging Growth and Innovation Forum, held at Maker City LAon Wednesday, proved to live up to the hype. Highlighting a variety of pressing topics for emerging growth companies, including the evolution of fintech, an update on women’s issues in the workplace, and how companies and investors should react to the new crowdfunding rules, the forum featured 15 different speakers in four panels and a fireside chat over the course of the day.
The location in Los Angeles was no coincidence. Southern California has become a center for emerging growth companies, with Santa Monica’s Silicon Beach, in particular, acting as the home to many innovative new start-ups.
