The main stage at Disrupt SF doesn’t make time for audience questions, but we know everyone has questions to ask our speakers. So we have a separate Q&A stage where many of our speakers appear a second time to take direct questions from Disrupt attendees, with the help of a moderator, of course.
Ask Sebastian Thrun about the details of Kittyhawk. Ask Cindy Gallop and Brooke Hammerling for tips on media strategy. Go direct with VCs from Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Ventures, Trinity Ventures, and more. Get the details on securing your startup from IOActive’s Jennifer Sunshine Steffens. See the full schedule below.
It’s also worth noting that audience questions are also a feature for the Extra Crunch stage sessions, which focus heavily on founder “how-to” panels, like this one on growth hacking and product-market fit featuring experts from Okta, Instagram, Tinder and Uber. You can check out the full Extra Crunch stage agenda here.
The only way to get in on the learning is to snag a pass to Disrupt SF which runs October 2 to October 4 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Passes are available here. (Note: Expo passes do not get access to the Q&A or any other live programming sessions.)
