This was a great event organized by the nice folks at Hub101 :-)

Part of California Lutheran University’s Steven Dorfman Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Hub101 is the premier startup community hub for the Conejo Valley and Ventura County.

Hub101 also offers coworking space, and organizes some great events!

Here are some pictures I took from the event:
