Where Tech Week happens — the LA tech corridor

Tech Week clusters around Silicon Beach and Downtown, and location signals who shows up. We represent venues across the neighborhoods that matter — Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Vista, Culver City, and Downtown LA — so your event lands where your guests already are.

Book your LA Tech Week venue

Tell us your event format, headcount, date within the week, and the neighborhood you want, and we'll send a curated shortlist — and handle scouting, permits, and load-in so you can focus on the guest list. The earlier you start, the better the room.

Why book your Tech Week venue early

Because every event is hosted separately, hundreds of organizers are sourcing space for the same seven days — and the best rooms in the tech corridor book out first. Starting early is the difference between the venue you want and whatever's left when you get there.
