FCLA 2016 In Photos: Meditation, Innovation, And Inspired Creation
When Fast Company‘s FCLA 2016 festival kicked off earlier this week, expectations were high. Attendees would be shown the inner workings of some of Southern California’s most creative studios, businesses, and incubators, get a chance to hear directly from the biggest names in entertainment, the culinary arts, tech, and more, and mingle and network amongst themselves against the backdrop of the gorgeous Playa Vista campus of 72andSunny.
The results? See for yourself in the slideshow above, and check out the FCLA16 blog for a sense of what it was like to be on the ground, in the studio, and on the bus, as we took L.A. by storm.
Now, let’s start thinking about next year, huh?
