“We’ve been in talks to strategically align our events for some time, especially following the success of the Agenda Festival last summer,” said Aaron Levant, Agenda Founder. “We aim to build a more dynamic and immersive experience for our consumers and we will do that right in the hub of the Southern California lifestyle scene.
