If you’re a creative of any sort, and you've been looking for your people in LA—this is where they are.
Collab is part art salon, part creative mixer, part idea incubator. For 20 years, it’s been a space where artists, founders, makers, and curious minds come together to connect, collaborate, and spark what’s next.
Expect a room full of:
Artists · Designers · Filmmakers · Builders · Entrepreneurs · Musicians · Creative Technologists · Mad Scientists · And people doing things that don’t fit in a box
⚡ What Happens at Collab?
🎤 Guest Speakers (Ask + Offer Format)
Real people building real projects share what they’re working on—and what they need.
It’s not just inspiration… it’s collaboration in real time.
AMELIA G and FORREST BLACK Founders of Blue Blood, which began as a pioneering magazine of counterculture erotica & lifestyle in the 90's & grew into some of the first membership sites. Award-winning and tech-forward first adult site to accept Bitcoin. "BlueBlood Collab Beta Test" - Photography has been overlooked in the platform space, so BlueBlood is relaunching with new collaboration features to solve this. Beta testing starts end of summer!
VIBE CODING FOR ANIMATION AND GAMES! Scott Barrett and Kerry Kirkpatrick are presenting a fascinating 2-for-1 demonstration about vibe coding for video game animation! We’ll see exciting previews of a new game about to be released, and also get a first look at Scott’s revolutionary new product “Dragon Engine” for vibe coding.
Kerry Kirkpatrick will show us examples of an entirely different video game that she is developing using Dragon Engine! No deep coding skills necessary! Voila! You can DO this!
