In an unprecedented gathering set to redefine the landscape of entrepreneurship and investment, Arlan Hamilton’s “Your First Million LIVE” event promises to be a cornerstone for change. Scheduled from April 9-12, 2024, at LA Live, this landmark occasion aims to congregate a diverse assembly of aspiring entrepreneurs, seasoned investors, job seekers, and recruitment leaders. The event’s clarion call, “It’s time for us to claim the wealth that belongs to us… We came for the cake, not the crumbs!” encapsulates its mission to elevate and empower underrepresented voices in the business world.
Arlan Hamilton, renowned for her trailblazing journey from homelessness to founding Backstage Capital, a venture capital firm dedicated to minimizing funding disparities in tech, orchestrates this gathering to amplify the narratives and talents often sidelined in traditional business ecosystems. “Your First Million LIVE” is not just an event; it’s a movement toward democratizing access to capital and fostering a community where diversity is not just welcomed but seen as an integral component of success.
The roster of speakers and attendees reads like a who’s who of industry disruptors and pioneers. From Janelle James, the Emmy-nominated star of “Abbott Elementary,” hosting the event to groundbreaking discussions with Issa Rae and Sheila Johnson, the first Black woman billionaire in the US and co-founder of BET, the event promises insightful dialogues and transformative perspectives.
Other luminaries include Rich Paul, Founder & CEO of Klutch Sports Group, and Dean Forbes, recognized as one of the most powerful Black individuals in Britain in 2023. Teri Ijeoma’s narrative, translating her trading acumen into Teachable’s most successful course, underscores the event’s ethos of translating knowledge into tangible success.
The event’s ambition extends beyond mere networking; it aims to equip participants with the tools, resources, and connections essential for navigating the path to their first million and beyond. Highlighting this endeavor are interactive sessions with figures like Gary Vaynerchuk, known for his acumen in entrepreneurship and media, and Suneera Madhani, whose journey to founding a billion-dollar company, Stax, embodies the event’s aspirational spirit.
In a display of cultural synthesis, the event will also feature entertainment by legendary group TLC, ensuring that the convergence of business acumen and artistic expression underscores the multifaceted nature of wealth creation.
“Your First Million LIVE” is set to be more than just an event; it’s a testament to the power of collective ambition and the undeniable potential that lies in fostering inclusivity and diversity in the entrepreneurial landscape. As attendees gather under the vibrant lights of LA Live, they’re not just participating in a conference; they’re becoming part of a historic movement towards equitable wealth creation and the dismantling of barriers that have long hindered the full realization of diverse talents and ideas in the business domain.
