Creative Collision: What AI Is Changing About How Bets and Breakthroughs Happen
Afternoon Session

Creative breakthroughs come from collision: unexpected connections between disciplines, new tech intertwining with old problems, and signals arriving from adjacent fields. AI is reshaping the conditions that make those collisions possible. It changes what we encounter, how we think, what gets filtered before we ever see it. This session explores how founders, researchers, and investors can intentionally stay at the generative edge of what’s next.

LABEST Bioscience Day at Luskin Conference Center 

UCLA Technology Development Group is proud to host the 8th Annual LABEST Bioscience Conference. The capstone event of the week brings together over 900 attendees from industry, venture capital, banks and researchers throughout the LA Region including Eli Lilly, Google Ventures, UCLA, CIRM and more. There will be dozens of scientific posters on display as part of the Pearl Cohen Poster Competition. New this year is the Creativity Commons featuring thought leaders who will present a different view on how to approach work and solve problems. Celebrate the end of LABEST Week at the closing reception on the beautiful Luskin Terrace.

Beyond the stage, LABest Week is engineered for high‑value networking. Connect with: 

• Entrepreneurs ready to partner, co‑develop, or spin out.
• Investors looking for opportunities in therapeutics, MedTech, devices, AI, software and biotech.
• Industry leaders scouting technologies and teams.
• Academic innovators across UCLA and the broader LA ecosystem seeking commercialization paths. 

At LABEST you can source deals, find your next strategic partner, pressure‑test your roadmap, or discover the next generation of platform technologies emerging from greater Los Angeles.
