TechCrunch Disrupt convened once again in the heart of San Francisco this week, gathering many of tech’s biggest names to discuss the biggest disruptions in the industry.

Attending TechCrunch Disrupt is always a highlight of our year. In just one day on-site, we caught a live podcast recording, saw multiple cred speakers take to the stage, engaged in the iconic Startup Battlefield competition, explored the expo hall, and more. Also offering a deal flow cafe, hands-on roundtables, Q&A sessions, and nightly focused networking events, TechCrunch Disrupt provides no shortage of opportunities to help startup teams reach the next level.

This year, the agenda covered innovations at the forefront of Space, SaaS, Fintech, scaling and fundraising, and of course, Artificial Intelligence. Some session and speaker highlights included:

• From Zero-Day to Hero, featuring Assaf Rappaport from Wiz

• IPO or Bust? Tactical Approaches for Late Stage Success, featuring Jai Das from Sapphire Ventures and Karthik Subramanian from Goldman Sachs

• What You Need to Raise a Series A (and Beyond) Today, featuring Renata Quintini from Renegade Partners, Corinne Riley from Greylock, and Elizabeth Yin from Hustle Fund

• The Startup Battlefield, with judges featuring cred speaker Rohan Ganesh from Obvious Ventures

• Look to the Past to See the Future of AI, featuring Vinod Khosla from Khosla Ventures

• Scaling Technical Startups: Navigating Growth, Positioning, and Competitive Pressure, featuring cred speaker Kevin Hu from Metaplane and Tobi Coker from Felicis Ventures

• Making Sound Investments, feauring Ashton Kutcher

We always love keeping up with the latest advancements in event management, and one feature we particularly enjoyed at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 was their use of Bizzabo, with wearable tech integration, Kilk. The easy-to-use tech tracked your in-person participation to send session details directly to your app, and the Klik feature on each name tag enabled seamless networking.
