In early 2022, you may remember, we called for experts to submit applications to present breakout sessions and roundtable discussions at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023, taking place on September 19–21 in San Francisco.
After spending dozens of late nights poring over thousands of applications and consuming frightening levels of caffeine, it’s time to reveal the Audience Choice breakout sessions competing for a slot on the Disrupt agenda. (You’ll find the list of Audience Choice roundtables here).
It’s time to make your voice count! Audience Choice voting opens today, May 1, and runs through Wednesday, May 17, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Head on over to the voting site, and you’ll find all of the breakouts and roundtables, including the topic title, description, speaker and company affiliation.
See something you like? Click on the arrow in the green box next to each topic you want to upvote to Disrupt. Only the top 10 voted breakouts will earn a spot on the Disrupt agenda. Enlist your colleagues, family, friends and fans to vote and make it happen!
The following 15 breakout sessions are hunting for a spot on the Disrupt agenda. Go to the Audience Choice voting site, read the full topic descriptions, filter and search by topic, and upvote your favorites.
