“It was great to see people out from behind screens and face to face. I work at General Assembly, and community events like this help me to better connect with our neighbors on the West side” Says Baily Hancock the Global Business Development Producer at General Assembly.
What does this mean for the tech community, particularly here in LA? Gabriela Alvarado, a leading strategist at EC Hispanic Media says “it give us the opportunity to showcase our services that focus exclusively on the US Hispanic Market in a fun and friendly environment.
