Meet us at the end of the historic Route 66 on Thursday, April 30, at LouLou Santa Monica. Even as the seasons change… well, as much as they do in SoCal, one thing hasn’t changed: Westside Digital Mix remains Los Angeles' go-to digital media & entertainment gathering for smart people, lively conversations, and a convivial vibe you won’t find anywhere else.

We’re excited to have as our Featured Guest this month – Darren Cross, Co-Founder of distllr and author of "No One Planned This: How Platforms Rewired Entertainment.” He is a media operator and strategist with two decades of experience across streaming and the creator economy, including roles at Maker Studios, Fandango, and Blip.

Join us at the Western end (or beginning!) of America’s Mother Road as Santa Monica celebrates its Centennial!

WDM Co-hosts: Spence Bovee, David Bloom, Brian C. Janes, Allison Dollar
