Hollywood, business and philanthropy converge in Downtown L.A. on Sunday, September 13, for a day of Gold Carpet glamour, celebrity interviews and a landmark app launch.
Los Angeles is set to host one of the season's most anticipated pre-awards gatherings, as the Lens of Influence Pre-Emmy® Celebration takes over the IHG Hotel Indigo in Downtown L.A. on Sunday, September 13. Presented by The Jay Kay Show, the daylong event blends celebrity appearances, live entertainment, media coverage and a marquee tech unveiling into a single Gold Carpet experience.
Running from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST, with the Gold Carpet kicking off at 10:00 a.m., the celebration also doubles as the official launch party for the eZWay Connect and eZWay TV apps, both now available free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. A third platform, eZWay Meet, rounds out the growing eZWay ecosystem connecting creators, entrepreneurs and entertainment professionals.

A Day Built for Gold Carpet Glamour
Guests can expect a full slate of programming throughout the day, including expert panels, keynote presentations, a professional Podcast Lounge, live entertainment and the exclusive Pre-Emmy® Gifting Suite. A special live television taping of The Jay Kay Show and EZ Talk Live, hosted by JAY KAY and Dr. Amb. Eric Zuley, will bring Gold Carpet interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage to a global audience.
The entertainment lineup also includes a comedy set from Dannon Green, known for Everybody Hates Chris and Real Husbands of Hollywood, and a “Dance to Donate” performance by the Soul Train Alumni, the legendary dancers who helped define generations of music and culture.
