Dive deep with Q&A Sessions at Disrupt SF 2019

When you hit the ground running at Disrupt San Francisco 2019 — and you will — be sure to save time for a QA session. You’re going to hear a bevy of world-class speakers discussing a range of thought-provoking topics on the Main Stage. A QA Session is the place where you can continue the discussion from the Main Stage or Extra Crunch Stage — or even raise a new one.

We interrupt this message to remind you to buy your pass to Disrupt SF 2019 and enjoy significant super early-bird savings. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

What’s the difference between Main Stage interviews and QA Sessions? So glad you asked. Main Stage events occur in the largest auditorium and are live-streamed on TechCrunch.com around the world. QA Sessions are specifically for Disrupt SF attendees to extend the conversation with speakers and take place in a smaller, more intimate space. A TechCrunch editor moderates a panel of experts, and they take questions submitted from the audience. It’s the perfect time to take a deeper dive into a topic or to follow-up on an issue raised during a Main Stage or Extra Crunch Stage presentation.

Main Stage events are recorded, live-streamed and they’re also available later, on demand — not the case with QA Sessions. The only way to benefit from the content is to be there in person. Better plan to arrive early if you want a seat. They’re very popular, space is limited and admission is strictly first come, first served.

QA Session topics vary and relate to the category tracks featured at Disrupt SF 2019: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Biotech/Healthtech, Blockchain, Fintech, Gaming, Investor Topics, Media, Mobility, Privacy/Security, Retail/E-commerce, Robotics/IoT/Hardware, SaaS, Space and Social Impact Education.
