I've always been told to surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to grow. And the first-ever Basis Technologies x AAF Los Angeles Jeffersonian Dinner was exactly that. We brought together a group of highly respected and experienced agency executives together, and spent the evening talking about some of the biggest challenges they're facing today. Their agencies range in sizes from 30 to 30,000+ employees, client rosters covering every industry you can think of, and capabilities across all verticals. Yet, despite the uniqueness of each persons agency, we came together for an insightful conversation. A BIG thank you to Allie (Alexandria) Jovicic for being my partner in crime on this one, and to Noor Naseer for being such an amazing leader of the discussion! As well as to the entire Basis Technologies team, Ashley Albrecht, Tiffany Lemos, Allison Copes and Leslie Johnson. We can't wait to do it again! ?? Monica Schipper/Getty Images #LAConnected
