TechCrunch Disruptreturns October 27-29 to Moscone West in San Francisco — and we’re inviting thought leaders, founders, VCs, and tech experts to apply for a chance to take the stage at one of the most anticipated tech events of the year.
Applications are now open to speak at Disrupt 2025, where over 10,000+ tech leaders, investors, and startup experts come together to shape the future of innovation.
The application deadline is May 16 — Apply hereand don’t miss your chance to lead the conversation.
Pick your session format
We’re looking for high-impact speakers to lead one of two session types:
Breakout Sessions— A 30-minute talk (up to four speakers, including a moderator) with a 20-minute audience Q&A. Capacity: 100 attendees.
Roundtables— A 30-minute speaker-led group discussion, designed for up to 40 participants. No slides or AV — just insight and conversation.
How the application process works
Each application will be carefully reviewed by our editorial team. Finalists will be selected for the Audience Choice vote — where TechCrunch readers choose which sessions make it to the Disrupt stage. Learn more about speaking on Disrupt’s Call for Content page.
