On Day 1, panel highlights also include The Changing Face of Aerospace in Southern California, War for Talent – Managing and Recruiting Employees and Remaining Competitive, and Creating a Healthier Future with AI. The day also featured a Startup to Scale-Up workshop hosted by Octane Capital and Growth.
