The IDEAS Los Angeles Conference recently announced its list of event speakers comprised of highly accomplished entrepreneurs, investors, film producers, doctors, professors and more.

The two-day conference, which takes place June 15-16 in Santa Monica, California, will focus on the future of digital technology in the media, entertainment, lifestyle and health. Through bringing together three entrepreneurial ecosystems –Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv– the conference features panels, startup presentations, and TED Talk-style lectures and also serves as a networking opportunity for investors and innovators across the globe.

The initial lineup includes 60 speakers, including Andrew Wallenstein, Co-EIC of Variety, Jessica Naziri, Tech Contributor at USA Today, Professor Joseph Klafter, Tel Aviv University President, and Katherine Lehr, VP of Operations for POLITICO.

In addition to these, additional presenters and keynote speakers will be announced in the coming months.

IDEAS, which stands for Israel, Digital, Entrepreneurs, Arts, and Science, is hosted by American Friends of Tel Aviv University, a nonprofit organization supporting Tel Aviv University. In a press release, the conference said its goal is to “inspire people to think deeper and more broadly by engaging with inventors and innovators tackling some of the most exciting challenges in the world today.”
