The Business Leadership Council, a program of the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation, is hosting a panel next week: “Gadgets, Devices and Next Generation Experiences.”

The 2½-hour event will feature industry insiders talking about how new gadgets and devices — from Nest to GoPro to the Apple Watch — become mainstays in our lives and transform our daily life experience.

The lineup of speakers is David Anderman of Jaunt, Ilana Golan of Stiya, Micah Yairi of Tactus Technology and Josh Zaretsky of Altman Vilandrie & Co.

The BLC panel will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17 at DLA Piper, 555 Mission St., S.F. Tickets are $18 for donors, $36 for others. For information, visit www.jewishfed.org or call (415) 369-2875.
