LA28: Drop 2 ticket registration is open, and that is more than a fan update. It is a business signal. With Long Beach set to host a major share of Olympic and Paralympic activity, local businesses should be thinking now about visibility, readiness, customer experience, and opportunity. Here are some thoughts on what ticket demand means for Long Beach businesses in our latest Olympic Dreams blog. https://lnkd.in/gZxRdV8k

Coming soon to the San Gabriel River - thanks for your work on this Joe Kalmick

L.A.'s ultra-urban rivers wash tons of trash out to sea. There's a plan to change that before the Olympics 'Trash interceptors' will be installed in the L.A. and San Gabriel rivers to stop tons of plastic from reaching the ocean before the 2028 Olympics.

See you at BOSS - Business Owners Sisterhood Social - next Tuesday the 19th at The Wicked Wolf. This month's focus: social media

The world is already arriving in Long Beach.
My newest Olympic Dreams: Get in the Games post explores why LA28 readiness starts locally, through relationships, hospitality, and community participation.
