One of my favorite weeks of the entire year in Los Angeles is the week of the Milken Institute Global Conference. This year was absolutely incredible with so many people in town to convene around topics including global financial markets, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), geopolitics, public policy and the environment.
At Plexo Capital, we always find Milken Global a great time to connect with colleagues, members of the Plexo Capital General Partner (GP) Network and the generous supporters of our funds and the Plexo Foundation.
This year, we hosted our third annual reception and had an amazing group of limited partners from the Plexo Capital Limited Partner (LP) Network. We enjoyed great conversation over drinks and food with contemporary art as the backdrop.
In addition, Jennifer P. Hopp, the interim executive director of the Plexo Foundation, talked with Aaron Samuels about his experience with the GPx program and how it was helpful for him from both a coaching and fundraising perspective.
I was also able to have a fireside chat with Jeremiah Gordon, the General Counsel of CapitalG, who is also a member of the Plexo Capital LP Advisory Committee. We had a great discussion that the group found engaging.
The Milken Institute Global Conference provides an invaluable opportunity to strengthen connections, share knowledge, and gain new insights. It's always a highlight of the year for Plexo Capital, and we look forward to continuing to participate in and contribute to this important gathering of minds.
