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).
