Time Is Ticking Help Choose Who Will Shape the Future of Tech at Disrupt 2025

The stage is almost set for TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, the premier tech event of the year returning to San Francisco’s Moscone West from October 27 to 29. But before the spotlight shines on the tech giants, startup trailblazers, and visionary investors — it’s the global tech community’s turn to decide who and what gets heard.

Audience Choice voting closes tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT, and with only 20 incredible session finalists — 10 breakout sessions and 10 roundtables — the pressure is on. This is not just another formality; your votes will directly determine who takes the stage at one of the most anticipated innovation gatherings of the year.

This year’s finalists cover some of the most pressing, futuristic, and practical tech topics. From scaling startups and decoding AI infrastructure to billion-agent enterprise security and space economy predictions — there’s something for every kind of tech mind. And you can vote for as many as you want — just one vote per session.

A Glimpse Into the Breakout Stars

Among the breakout session finalists is Coinbase’s M&A Head Aklil Ibssa, ready to spill secrets on how founders can get acquired without compromising their vision. Amazon’s AI Product Chief Anmol Rastogi dives into agentic AI for startups, while Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy discusses how companies can evolve from “data-driven” to “agent-powered.”

Pinterest’s CTO Matt Madrigal wants to explore how AI can shape a better digital future, and SandboxAQ’s Jack Hidary, joined by legendary investor Jim Breyer, tackles enterprise security in the age of AI overload.

Whether your interest lies in building, protecting, or scaling — these sessions are crafted to offer real tools, not just tech talk.

Roundtables With a Mission

The roundtables aren’t holding back either. Anthropic’s Kyla Guru and Alex Moix will unpack how to control powerful AI models without breaking their utility. Reddit’s Rachel Miller brings insights from scaling search for millions, while Intel Capital’s Avi Bharadwaj shares how VCs spot the next AI unicorn.

Even better, Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu questions whether startups are losing their identity when they take outside capital — a raw, rarely discussed topic in Silicon Valley.

There’s something refreshingly unfiltered about this year’s agenda — and the power to decide what makes it to the main stage is in your hands.

Last Chance to Influence the Future

Audience Choice ends tonight, and with it, your opportunity to help decide who gets the mic in front of thousands of tech leaders, founders, and thinkers. If you’ve ever wanted to shape the future of the tech conversation, this is your moment.

Cast your vote now — and ensure the sessions that resonate with you make it to the big stage.

Because Disrupt 2025 won’t just be about where tech is going. It’ll be about who’s driving it — and you get to help choose the drivers.
