The ULMII Entertainment Conference will be hosted by veteran sports commentator Vera Jones (ESPN, Fox Sports). The Los Angeles 'ULMII" conference, powered by Zoom, is grateful to have her back to keep attendees laughing and attentive. This makes three years that the veteran sports analyst hosted the Los Angeles event.
