Targeting Marketing Tactics - Finding Your Best Audience, August 3 at 8 a.m.
The Encino Chamber of Commerce continues to do great things for the burgeoning San Fernando Valley tech scene with its series of events focused on the little things startup founders encounter while growing their business.

We'll Talk UX: KPCC Edition, August 3 at 7 p.m.
Pasadena's own KPCC is getting into the startup support game with an event dedicated to UX, specifically the pitfalls that can be encountered in a site's design process.
