Cast your votes for roundtable topics at TechCrunch Disrupt – TechCrunch

Heading to TechCrunch Disrupt on October 18-20 in San Francisco? Great, we can’t wait to see you! In the meantime, take a few minutes right now and head to the polls. And by that we mean go to the Audience Choice voting site and let us know which roundtable topics you want to see at Disrupt.

Roundtables are 30-minute, expert-led discussions with 15-20 attendees, and they’re the most popular sessions at Disrupt. The smaller group format encourages interactive, in-depth conversations. Attendees can learn, contribute and network with other folks interested in the same topic.

This is the first time we’ve asked for your input on programming content at Disrupt, and we can’t wait to see the results.

Audience Choice voting is open now, but the polls close at 11:59 p.m. (PDT) on Friday, July 15.

When you land on the voting site, you’ll find a list of potential roundtable sessions along with the number of votes that have been cast for each one at that point. Choose the topics you’d like to participate in the most, and share your thoughts or feedback in the comment box.

Here’s an early look at just some of the speakers who will join us on the Disrupt main stage and the TechCrunch+ stage.

RJ Scaringe, founder and CEO of EV automaker, Rivian, will join us in person for a wide-ranging interview. We’ll explore the startup’s early failures and successes, as well as its progress in the quest to become a vertically integrated company. We’ll ask Scaringe about his plans for the future and get his take on the wave of EVs coming to market, battery tech and automated driving.

Don’t miss this trio of investors — Mike Asem, general partner, M25; Rich Wong, partner, Accel and Elizabeth Yin, co-founder and general partner, Hustle Fund VCs — as they tackle an important topic: How to raise funding when you’re not in a major tech hub.

Of course, we’ll announce many more speakers and topics in the coming months. Be among the first to know — sign up for updates on the latest events and discounts.

Don’t miss your chance to vote on the roundtable sessions you want to see at Disrupt. Voting ends on July 15 at 11:59 p.m. (PDT).
