At LDM, we believe strong local communities are built when opportunity is accessible — and when expertise is shared with purpose. That’s why we’re proud to work with the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) on the development of their Business Connect portal, a platform designed to connect local businesses with major sports and entertainment events across Los Angeles.
LASEC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to linking Los Angeles–based businesses with opportunities tied to large-scale events. Through its Business Connect program, LASEC supports more than 200 diverse suppliers, including minority- and women-owned businesses, helping them gain visibility and access within a highly competitive event ecosystem.
The Business Connect portal enables event organizers and production partners to efficiently discover and engage qualified local suppliers as Los Angeles prepares to host globally significant events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Super Bowl LXI, and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Collaborating with LASEC allowed us to apply our website design and development expertise toward their mission — strengthening the local economy and creating lasting impact for generations to come. As both a technology partner and a Business Connect supplier, LDM helped design a platform that simplifies supplier discovery, improves access to opportunity, and elevates the visibility of experienced, diverse businesses throughout the region.
Collaborating with LASEC as a Business Connect Supplier to develop the Business Connect Supplier Portal was a powerful way to apply our technical expertise in service to the local business community. The platform streamlines supplier discovery and selection, helping event and venue partners connect more efficiently with experienced, diverse businesses across Los Angeles in the LASEC Business Connect program.
