Your First Million LIVE: Arlan Hamilton’s Inaugural Event in LA

““It’s time for us to claim the wealth that belongs to us... We came for the cake, not the crumbs!””

— Arlan

This April 9-12, the Montgomery Entertainment Collective strayed from their NorCal endeavors and ventured to the heart of Southern California — Los Angeles at LA LIVE for a game-changing entrepreneurial conference. Catered to aspiring or current entrepreneurs, investors, job seekers, and hiring managers, this event brought Arlan’s ecosystem together in person. The event was created to nurture the next generation of catalysts. Attendees received the tools, resources, and connections throughout the event to propel them toward their First Million! Some incredible sponsors including Meta, Amazon Black Business Accelerator, Bank of America, Backstage Capital, and more generously sponsored this event!

Day 1 was filled with exciting opportunities to meet new people, get books signed, and explore the Black Beauty Bazaar, and the day ended with a warm welcome reception. Day 2 was a transformative experience, taking attendees to the Peacock Theater for Arlan's Academy IRL and an Evening with Issa Rae. The day concluded with exclusive dinners, leaving attendees feeling inspired and motivated.

Speaker sessions included interviews and talks with Dean Forbes, Janelle James, Rich Paul, Gary Vaynerchuk, Sheila Johnson, and more! To finish the event, Janine performed as the opening act for TLC who performed a showstopping private concert for attendees.
