TechCrunch, a leading technology media outlet, has announced that the call for speakers is now open for TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, taking place from October 27-29 in San Francisco. This prestigious event brings together over 10,000 startup founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts, providing a unique opportunity for thought leaders to share their expertise and make a lasting impact on the startup ecosystem.

For those interested in taking the stage, TechCrunch is curating a diverse group of industry experts to lead interactive breakout sessions and roundtable discussions. These sessions will cover the key topics that matter most to startup founders and entrepreneurs, providing a platform for speakers to share their insights, experiences, and expertise. Applicants can choose to apply for either a breakout session or roundtable discussion, or both, and will be required to provide a title and description for their topic.

A breakout session is a 30-minute presentation with up to four presenters, including a moderator, followed by a 20-minute Q&A session, engaging up to 100 attendees. Visual aids and limited AV capabilities are permitted. Each presenter will host one breakout session at Disrupt. On the other hand, a roundtable discussion is a 30-minute interactive conversation led by two speakers, with no presentation or AV required, and will be held twice during the event.

After submitting their applications, finalists will move to the Audience Choice voting round, where TechCrunch readers will vote for their favorite sessions. The winning sessions will be featured live at Disrupt 2025, providing a unique opportunity for speakers to gain visibility and establish themselves as thought leaders in their respective fields.

For those interested in increasing their brand visibility beyond the stage, TechCrunch is also offering exhibition opportunities and sponsorship activations. With exhibit tables in high demand, startups and brands are encouraged to reserve their spot now to ensure they don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with 10,000+ startup leaders and investors.
