TechCrunch announced the final Disrupt Stage lineup for the upcoming event running from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, featuring industry leaders discussing artificial intelligence, hardware scaling, and venture capital. The three-day conference brings together prominent figures including Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe, Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman, and Amazon's Panos Panay to share insights on the future of technology.
The speaker lineup highlights critical infrastructure challenges and future frontiers, with Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman addressing whether AI can sustain its current trajectory of scaling compute, energy, and capital. Additionally, Recursive Intelligence co-founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini will discuss AI systems designing their own hardware, while Replit CEO Amjad Masad explores how software creation evolves as AI expands access.
Beyond keynote discussions, the event features the Startup Battlefield 200, where early-stage founders compete live for a $100,000 equity-free prize and the Disrupt cup. Alumni such as Cellino CEO Nabiha Saklayen will also return to unveil new products and share entrepreneurial experiences with the next generation of tech leaders.
This event matters because it gathers key decision-makers across artificial intelligence, robotics, and venture capital to debate the scaling, infrastructure, and hardware limits shaping the industry's next phase.
