Crypto.com Arena announces 15-year arena veteran Michael Becker as Vice President of Event Services & Production.

In his new role, Becker will be responsible for overseeing the Crypto.com Arena Events Team, which acts as a liaison between the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Kings and Los Angeles Sparks, fulfilling all their building needs including giveaway distribution, sponsorship activations, in-game programming, seating and operations for their home games. This is in addition to the dozens of concerts and other special events taking place inside the iconic Downtown Los Angeles arena each year.

“Michael Becker understands our culture of excellence at Crypto.com Arena and his dedication to serving all our valued team partners, concert promoters, and special events has been demonstrated time and time again,” Danielle Snyder, Senior Vice President of Arena Services at Crypto.com Arena said. “We’re so proud to have him leading our Events & Production team as we continue our rich history of bringing some of the most memorable events in sports and entertainment to Crypto.com Arena.”

Becker came to the arena in 2010 after working with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and working as a Special Education teacher. He started as a Guest Services Supervisor, rapidly learning the ropes of how events operate in a front of house capacity, before transitioning to the Event Services Department as an Event Manager.

“I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience things from both sides and see how our events operate once the doors open, to the exact opposite, which on the events side, you focus on everything up until the doors open,” Becker said. “Having the ability to balance those two things and continuing to build my knowledge base is something I truly appreciate. I’m not blind to the fact that not a lot of people get to take this particular journey, and I feel very fortunate.”

Some of Becker’s most memorable moments at Crypto.com Arena include the 2023 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival, which took over the arena, Chick Hearn Court and Peacock Place at L.A. LIVE for two days and included a Guitar Center Festival Village and performances by Clapton along with Santana, Gary Clark Jr., Joe Bonamassa, Los Lobos, ZZ Top, Sheryl Crow and more. He vividly remembers the 2017 NHL All-Star Game and Becker and his team also helped oversee the Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial in 2020.
