7th Annual Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo

We are very excited to announce our 7th Annual Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo. The Grand Expo returns on Saturday, November 7, 2026, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. We're taking over the entire Iman Cultural Center for the day - it's all ours! The North Hall (workshops), the South Hall (workshops), Library (workshops), and the center courtyard (vendor exhibition tent and food trucks). The theme of this year’s Grand Expo will be “*Rea Estate Investing in 2027.”* Last year, the Grand Expo was the largest real estate event in Southern California! We had over 800 investors, 82 vendors, and 12 national speakers! This year will be even BIGGER! An entire day celebrating real estate investing and you can be involved. Best of all, the Grand Expo will be FREE to attend. This Expo is going to be big, really BIG! **INVESTMENT EDUCATION**. Just think of it! An all-day in-depth educational extravaganza celebrating real estate investing. Most importantly, this will NOT be a sales pitch. Each of the speakers have contractually agreed to educate and teach us successful real estate investing strategies. So regardless of whether you are a new investor, already own properties, or are very experienced, our Grand Expo is for you! **COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE CONSULTATIONS**. As a special unique feature of our Grand Expo, you can sign-up for private half-hour consultations with your favorite guest speakers. Registration will occur Saturday morning, starting promptly at 8:00 am. First come – first serve. So come early and schedule your private consultations. A once in a lifetime opportunity to get free advice from national real estate experts! **VENDOR EXPO**: Don't miss our "*Vendor Expo*," which will occur throughout the day in the center courtyard tent. We'll have 80+ vendors where you can "*meet and greet*" real estate professionals with services and products that you'll want to utilize in your real estate investing. (If you have a product or service that would be valuable to real estate investors and would like to be a vendor, please contact us directly.) **DATE**: Saturday, November 7, 2026, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. **LOCATION**: Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue (between Palms and National), Los Angeles, 90034. **FREE PARKING**: Street parking (free and metered).

Who Did We Build This For? Rethinking AI Before It Goes Live

Anisa Abeytia didn't set out to build a company focused on healthcare AI. The idea that eventually became FourthSpace began as a project in her master's program and took her through humanitarian work around the world, where she saw firsthand what happens when technology designed with one set of assumptions meets the complexities of real people, cultures, and environments. Those experiences ultimately led Anisa to healthcare, where AI is rapidly changing how organizations interact with patients — and where getting the assumptions wrong can have significant consequences. In this talk, Anisa will share her path to becoming the Founder of FourthSpace and the experiences and lessons that shaped the company along the way. FourthSpace is an independent evaluation company focused on identifying risks in patient-facing healthcare AI before systems are deployed. Anisa will introduce four critical areas organizations should examine during development and some of the key questions teams should be asking before an AI system ever reaches a patient. But her message extends well beyond healthcare. Successful technology isn't just about what we build — it's about understanding who we're building it for, what we've assumed about them, and what we need to ask before **we launch.** **Anisa's Bio** Anisa Abeytia is the Founder and CEO of FourthSpace Solutions, an AI governance consultancy focused on identifying risks in patient-facing healthcare AI before systems are deployed. Her work brings together systems thinking, technical evaluation, and lived community experience to help organizations build more accountable and inclusive technology. Anisa is a member of the G7/G20 Research Group at the Center for AI and Digital Policy and serves as Research Lead on the Invisible Hands Project, the first comparative study of the AI gig workforce in the MENA region. She previously served as a UNHCR Innovation Fellow and currently advises organizations focused on AI and digital inclusion. Anisa introduced the concept of Artificial Wisdom — a framework centering accountability and lived community knowledge alongside data — to the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on AI. FourthSpace Solutions was recently selected for Harvard Business School’s Deep Tech Foundry Cohort. **Accessibility:** FoundrSpace is located in a historic building without elevator access.

Los Angeles Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience

# Tired of dating apps culture and surface-level? This is different. And people often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real again. Free to RSVP, 👉 $59 to confirm your spot [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing.

BIMPulse Presents ... BIMLogiq (Los Angeles)

**The Evolution of AI in AEC: From AI assistants to AI Agents** AI in AEC has evolved significantly over the past few years. We started with chatbots, then moved to AI copilots that could understand Revit and help users accomplish tasks. Around three years ago, BIMLOGIQ took this a step further with **BIMLOGIQ Copilot and its own fine-tuned code-generation engine**, enabling AI to generate Revit API code and create custom automations. These approaches still have limitations—they generally rely on precise prompts, predefined tools and workflows and require users to define what the AI can do. The next step is **AI agents**: AI that can reason about a goal, break complex problems into steps, write its own tools, choose and use the right tools, and adapt as it works. This is where **Argus** comes in. Argus is a fully multi-agentic platform built for AEC, where specialized agents can work together to perform complex Revit workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Argus works and show how you can create your own agents to automate workflows that traditional add-ins and automation approaches simply can't handle. Learning Objectives * **Identify** the limitations of traditional Revit add-ins and rule-based automation compared to adaptive, agent-driven workflows. * **Recognize** how AI assistants interact with Revit and act on the live model. * **Apply** AI-assisted code generation to build simple Revit add-ins that automate repetitive documentation tasks. * **Compare** single-task automation (commands) with multi-agent orchestration, and understand when each delivers the most value. * **Outline** the key components of an AI agent, including instructions, tools, context, and feedback loops; how they work together within Revit.

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
