ThinkLA Summer Soiree

ThinkLA’s Summer Soiree is the association’s big annual networking night for Southern California marketing, media, and advertising professionals - agencies, brands, publishers, and rising talent. The 2026 edition marks ThinkLA’s 20th anniversary with a La Dolce Vita theme and is presented by Comcast Advertising. The room is marketed above 700 people. That scale is the point: a dense industry association social, not a 40-person happy hour on Wilshire. ThinkLA is the Southern California marketing, media, and advertising association; this is the annual flagship social, not a monthly chapter happy hour.

Thursday, July 30, 2026, 6:00-11:00 PM at Bel-Air Bay Club, 16801 Pacific Coast Highway, Pacific Palisades - the PCH clubhouse on the Westside coast. Late individual tickets were listed around $225 for members and $285 for non-members. The GlueUp page currently shows sold out with a waitlist option. Email events@thinkla.org for waitlist or last-minute guidance. ThinkLA’s events hub is the backup calendar.

Marketing, media, adtech, and brand-partnership people who already live in this association graph will get more from the night than someone hunting a casual mixer. It is a paid flagship social with a five-hour window, so plan for PCH traffic and a real ticket. Member vs non-member late pricing is the last published band; waitlist status is what actually gets you in. Agencies, brands, publishers, and rising talent are the marketed mix. Email events@thinkla.org is the waitlist channel; ThinkLA’s events hub is only the backup calendar, not a second ticket inventory. Budget PCH time for a five-hour Palisades window.

Check the GlueUp waitlist before you assume you can walk into Bel-Air Bay Club. If you are already on the list, reconfirm status close to July 30; sold-out association soirees do not reliably reopen at the door.
