disrupt-ny-2013A big city needs a big tech event, which is why I’m pleased to announce the massive TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2013 agenda. It’s a schedule chock-full of amazing speakers, great panels, and all the excitement of our Startup Battlefield – in which 30 amazing startups will compete for the Disrupt Cup and a $50,000 prize – all played out on the backdrop of the most vibrant metropolis in the world. Who will be there? Gentry Underwood, who recently sold his meteoric company, Mailbox, to Dropbox will be on the stage. Investing partners and pillars of the New York entrepreneurial scene, Kevin Ryan and Dwight Merriman will share their perspectives. Ebay’s John Donahoe will sit down for an in-depth conversation as will Fred Wilson, Roelof Botha, Bill Gurley, Chris Dixon and Ron Conway. Flipboard’s Mike McCue will join us and Ashton Kutcher, will tell us whats up with A-Grade and share what it’s like to play Steve Jobs on film. We’ll have an exclusive screening of Downloaded, the documentary about Napster, and sit down with the movie’s subjects and creator.Plus,the Taxi And Limousine Commission will take on Hailo and Sidecarin a not-to-be missed discussion. If that’s not enough to make you run, not walk, to Disrupt, there will be hundreds of new companies in Startup Alley, a raft of awesome after parties, and Hardware Alley where we celebrate the best of hardware startups.
