Where LA & OC engineers meet to build what’s next.

About the Event
A cross-industry evening connecting innovators from aerospace, defense, space, logistics, food production, and consumer goods.
Los Angeles and Orange County are home to world-class engineering talent and advanced industry clusters—but there hasn’t been a dedicated local forum for engineers to collaborate across sectors. The LA & OC Engineering Growth Association changes that by convening practitioners to share best practices in automation, robotics, design, and operations, and to spark partnerships that strengthen the region’s leadership.
The event is about creating a dedicated local platform where engineers from aerospace, defense, space, logistics, food production, and consumer goods industries can come together.
Goals include collaboration, innovation, and growth: sharing best practices in automation, robotics, design, operations, etc.
Another aim is to strengthen the engineering ecosystem of LA & OC — not just for individuals, but also for companies and the region at large.
It’s hosted by TheCameraGuy.Me & AliveMind and is set for Wednesday, October 15, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at 20850 Leapwood Avenue #J , Carson, CA 90746
