We’re on the hunt for sharp minds to guide interactive breakout sessions and real-talk roundtables on the topics that keep founders and tech leaders up at night.

If that sounds like you, don’t wait — apply to speak at Disrupt 2025 before May 16.

Pick your topic and format

Here’s how it works: when you apply, you’ll pick your format and pitch your topic with a title and short description.

• Breakout Session: A 30-minute presentation with up to four speakers (including a moderator), followed by a 20-minute Q&A with up to 100 attendees. Visual aids and limited AV support are allowed. Each speaker will lead one session.
• Roundtable Discussion: A 30-minute, speaker-led conversation for up to 40 attendees. No slides or AV — just real, unfiltered discussion.
