Key insights from today’s tech industry heavyweights
Last year, Disrupt featured more than 200 on-stage conversations with more than 250 of the top voices shaping the technology ecosystem. Expect the same level of powerful and candid conversations this year, from AI and scaling to fintech and climate. Keep an eye on our events page as we develop our 2026 agenda.
Highlights of 2025 include:
Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana made it clear on stage that the company would not respond to acts of vandalism against robotaxis.
Create meaningful connections through networking
Last year, more than 20,000 selected conferences were held over three days. Beyond that, thousands more connections occurred organically through impromptu moments, roundtables, and conversations in the Expo Hall with over 10,000 attendees. This year, we are rolling out improved networking technology to make these connections even more targeted and efficient.
