Global Objects at NAB

We’re still riding high from an incredible week at NAB Show!

Huge thanks to our friends at HP and CG Pro for hosting us at their booth — it was an honor to showcase GO’s photoreal 3D capture tech and show off some sweet props from the team at the legendary Independent Studio Services. From scanning physical props to digital twins, we’re transforming how the industry creates, preserves, and monetizes iconic assets.

A special shoutout to Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon and XGRIDS for co-hosting an amazing panel with us — the conversation was so energizing, and we’re just getting started. Organized by the fantastic Lori H. Schwartz!!

Even more exciting? Seeing the innovation happening across our community. The tech, the talent, the vision — the future of storytelling is here, and we’re proud to be building it together.

Earth Summit 2025 - April 17th

Join AI LA for its landmark 6th annual Earth Summit, dedicated this year to building resilient communities in the wake of Los Angeles's devastating fires. This year, AI LA is grateful to have the support of the Annenberg Foundation and Annenberg Tech!

AI LA envisions a Los Angeles that rebuilds faster, stronger, and more sustainably in the face of disaster—where foundations, NGOs, tech innovators, investors, and government agencies collaborate to implement innovative solutions.

The Earth Summit is a vibrant gathering point for LA’s leading sustainability champions, technologists, startups, policy makers, and investors, all committed to forging pathways toward resilient urban futures. Participants will experience a day rich with education, inspiration, and opportunities for meaningful connection.

This year's program includes an insightful fireside chat, an interactive workshop, and expert panels that explore how AI, technology, policy innovation, and strategic investment can be leveraged to create adaptive and equitable communities.

Highlights:

Rising from the Ashes: Learn critical lessons from the recent LA wildfires and explore blueprints for urban resilience.

Smart Cities in the Age of Climate Change: Discover how AI and technology can support adaptation, emergency response, and sustainable growth.

Policy, People, and Partnerships: Discuss actionable strategies for building equitable and resilient urban futures through effective collaboration.

Financing Resilience: Understand investment strategies designed to future-proof cities and mitigate risks associated with climate change.

Interactive Facilitated Workshop: a dynamic 90-minute World Café workshop, designed to foster deep engagement among stakeholders:

• Participants rotate through three rounds of focused small-group discussions (4-6 people per table).

• Each table addresses specific challenges related to LA wildfires, guided by a knowledgeable "host."

• Key insights from discussions are visually mapped into a comprehensive synthesis, directly informing future engagements and laying the groundwork for the LA Strong Hackathon later this year.
