What to expect at Disrupt

Key insights from today’s tech heavyweights
Last year, Disrupt featured 200+ on-stage conversations with 250+ top voices shaping the tech ecosystem. Expect the same level of powerful, candid conversations this year with tracks ranging from AI and scaling to fintech and climate. Keep an eye on the event page as we roll out the 2026 agenda.

2025 highlights included:
Top investors from Insight Partners, GV, and Moxxie share what to remember while raising a Series A
Roy Lee, viral rage-bait expert and founder of Cluely, says brand awareness alone won’t sustain growth and urges startups to focus on social media virality.
Kevin Rose, founder of Diggs, has one rule for evaluating AI hardware investments: ”If you feel like you should punch someone in the face wearing it, you probably shouldn’t invest in it.”
Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana made it clear on stage that the company will not stand for vandalism against its robotaxis.
Spark meaningful connections through networking
Last year, 20,000+ curated meetings took place over three days. Beyond that, thousands more connections happened organically through impromptu moments, roundtables, and conversations across a 10,000+ attendee Expo Hall. This year, we’re rolling out improved networking technology to make those connections even more targeted and efficient.
