The International Olympic Committee is scheduled to announce the host city for the 2024 Olympics in September 2017 — Los Angeles and Paris are the final-round contenders. The LA 2024 Bid Committee has developed a remarkable plan based on utilizing existing and already- planned facilities and infrastructure to deliver an Olympic Games centered on sustainability and fiscal responsibility.

The concept for the Games is to involve, engage and bring together the entire Greater Los Angeles region, and indeed the venues map reaches from San Fernando Valley in the north to Long Beach in the south, Santa Monica on the west and all the way east to Lake Perris. In the center are the Downtown Sports Park, LA Stadium at Hollywood Park and the Athletes Village at UCLA.

Join us for an incredible opportunity to hear from some of the leaders who have been working tirelessly to bring the 2024 Olympics to Los Angeles. They will share with us their vision and concept for the Games and talk about the ideas and plans to utilize, reinvent and reimagine the facilities and venues to deliver a truly world-class event.

The verynice Women’s Design Salon is an intimate series that empowers our local creative community of women by bringing them together, along with outside experts, to discuss real issues, current events, and new ideas. While the series is focused on empowering women, all are welcome to attend and contribute. In this spirit of collaboration, verynice is excited to be a part of the LA Design Festival this year!

During this event we’ll have a discussion with our panel of community experts and then break out into groups to put our heads together. What makes up a “body of work”? What defines a creative person? How do you catalyze change and embrace transition? And of course, how does being a woman affect your career? Let’s see what we can learn from different perspectives on success and creativity.

The event will be moderated by Alisa Olinova & Clarisa Valdez from verynice.
