Hands-on AI bootcamp in Los Angeles. You build real AI projects with 39 other professionals over two days. No slides — just building. Your employer can pay the full $1,490 tax-free under IRS Section 127.
Los Angeles is no longer just the entertainment capital of the world — it is rapidly becoming one of America's most important AI hubs. Silicon Beach, stretching from Santa Monica to Playa Vista, is home to hundreds of AI startups and major tech offices from Google, Amazon, Meta, Snap, and SpaceX. The entertainment industry is deploying AI at unprecedented scale, from visual effects and content personalization to AI-generated music and virtual production.
Major studios including Disney, Warner Bros., Netflix, and Sony are investing heavily in AI capabilities, creating massive demand for professionals who understand both the technology and its practical applications. The gaming industry, headquartered significantly in LA, is another major driver of AI talent demand — from Riot Games to Activision to dozens of indie studios building AI-native games.
Beyond entertainment, LA's aerospace and defense sector (SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon), its world-class healthcare systems (Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health), and its financial services firms all require AI-literate professionals. This bootcamp gives you the hands-on skills that LA employers are paying premium salaries for — in three intense days.
Los Angeles has the most distinctive AI hiring mix of any major U.S. city — entertainment, gaming, aerospace, and Silicon Beach consumer tech all sit within 20 miles of each other. It is the only market where you can realistically move from recommending movies to training image models for rocket diagnostics without changing cities.
Where the work is. The bootcamp venue is on the Westside — Santa Monica, Venice, or Culver City, depending on cohort. Silicon Beach (Santa Monica → Venice → Playa Vista → Culver City) is where most consumer-tech AI hiring happens. Aerospace and defense AI jobs cluster in El Segundo, Hawthorne, and Long Beach.
Industry mix. Entertainment, gaming, aerospace, ad tech, media tech, and consumer hardware. LA is the only city where AI work can touch both Hollywood and orbit in the same week.
Two full days, Thursday and Friday. Arrive ready to work. Leave ready to build.
