The Setup
Two weeks ago, we announced Audience Choice and invited you to cast your votes for the roundtable topics you most want to see this year at TechCrunch Disrupton October 18-20 in San Francisco. And holy smokes, you answered the call.
Roundtable discussions are among the most popular sessions at Disrupt. These 30-minute, expert-led discussions with up to 20 attendees encourage interactive, in-depth conversations where attendees can learn, contribute, and network with others who share their interests.
This year’s Audience Choice voting has already begun, giving you the power to shape what happens at one of the world’s most influential tech events. But before we dive into all that, let’s break down everything you need to know about this year’s lineup, how the voting process works, and why it matters.
What Are Roundtables?
Roundtable discussions are short, focused conversations on a specific topic or idea. They’re designed to foster deep dialogue among attendees, often featuring experts, industry leaders, and visionaries. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology, emerging trends, and innovative ideas that could shape the future of the industry.
Why Are Roundtables Important at TechCrunch Disrupt?
Disrupt is more than just a conference—it’s an experience. It brings together leaders from academia, industry, and venture capital to explore transformative ideas and innovations. Roundtables are a key part of this experience, offering attendees a chance to dive deeply into topics that matter most to them.
The Audience Choice system empowers you—our readers—to determine which roundtables should take center stage at Disrupt 2022. By voting on the topics you care about most, you’re helping shape the agenda and ensuring that the discussions happening in SF align with your priorities.
How Does Audience Choice Work?
The Audience Choice system is designed to engage attendees and ensure their voices are heard during the event. Here’s how it works:
- Voting: Attendees vote on roundtables throughout the week, selecting the topics they want to see in depth.
- Weighting Votes: Each vote contributes to a weighted score for each roundtable topic, reflecting its popularity among attendees.
- Selection Process: The roundtables with the highest scores are prioritized by Disrupt organizers based on attendee interest and relevance.
The goal is to create a truly personalized experience, letting you choose what you want to see when you’re there.
