THE SUMMIT WE'VE ALL BEEN TALKING ABOUT

Recap: TRUSTED X LA

2022 TrustedXLA Screens

We are thrilled to have hosted Trusted X LA earlier this month on June 15th, at the fantastic Globe Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.

Cryptocurrency and NFTs have been a hot topic – and one that advisors with high net worth clients are looking for concrete guidance on. Many clients are heavily invested in the space, and are interested in creating and collecting NFTs. This has created a series of unique challenges from a tax, legal, and risk perspective. 

With over 40 speakers, the day was filled with insight from CEOs, business managers, agents, attorneys, CPAs, and Web3 advisors who hold special expertise in entertainment, digital assets, and the metaverse.

Many of the speakers, sponsors, and attendees have been a part of our tight-knit community and involved in Trusted Advisor since the early days. Trusted X LA was able to be bigger and better (with over 150 attendees!) as our network has grown, so thank you to everyone who has been along for the ride so far! We are looking forward to more in-person events including the second annual Trusted Advisor Summit later this year.

We could not have pulled this off without our sponsors for the event. A very big thank you to Amber Group, Opolis, SKALE Labs, Faculty Group, Prager Metis and AXOS Bank.

We also want to thank our media partners for the event – Edge of NFT, Family Office Association, NFT Thought Leaders, Reactify, Cointelegraph, Music Business Association and Music Managers Forum.

Here are some pics from Trusted X LA – we hope you were able to make it and we’ll see you again for our future events in 2022!
