The theme of this year’s event is “City in Motion.” A panel will discuss how local businesses benefit from mobility options including walking, cycling, taking public transit or using electric vehicles.
Panelists will include Glen Becerra, deputy executive officer for communications at the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority; Hilary Norton, executive director of Fixing Angelenos Stuck in Traffic (FAST); Timothy Burr Jr., director of public policy for Lyft, and Mott Smith of Civic Enterprise, a real estate developer.
“This year, we’re going beyond the basics by exploring all West Hollywood’s mobility options and strategizing how businesses, small or large, can fully benefit from them,” said Morrill in an announcement of the event.
Tickets, $125, can be purchased online.
So, what was with that email Morrill supposedly sent saying she was leaving? A fake email? What’s the REAL story?
