 at Disrupt

When you’re in between jobs, networking can feel like another job. Disrupt gives you three full days to make meaningful connections in one place. 

At the center of Disrupt is the Expo Hall, where all 10,000+ attendees converge — founders, investors, tech leaders, innovators, and builders. Explore 300+ exhibiting startups, connect directly with founders and tech leaders, learn about new companies, and put yourself in the room for your next career opportunity.

You don’t have to wait until Disrupt to grow your network. Start networking as soon as you buy your ticket and download the TechCrunch Events app. Use the app’s AI-powered matchmaking to discover relevant people and make connections based on your interests and goals. Then take those connections offline through 1:1 meetings, conversations in the Expo Hall, and events throughout Disrupt.
