On June 5, TechCrunch Sessions: AI will kick off — and you can be part of the industry-changing conversations that will be taking place. We have an open invitation for members of the AI community to lead breakout sessions and discussions with over 1,200 startup founders, VC leaders, and AI aficionados attending our newest event, which will be held in Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley. There’s just one catch: You have to apply by midnight tonight, March 7, to be considered as a speaker, so head right here to do so. You only have four days left to get your application in front of our team before we make our choices!
As the AI field rapidly develops, we want to make sure that the innovators driving the discourse are able to take center stage, so at TechCrunch Sessions: AI, you can apply to lead a 50-minute session, complete with a presentation, panel discussion, audience Q&A, and up to four speakers included in a discussion of a topic that you think will send shock waves through the community.
How to become a Sessions: AI speaker
Here’s how it works: You just have to hit the “Apply to Speak” button and submit your topic on the events page. We’re open to a variety of topics, ranging from the startups within the space, the emerging AI tools changing the way we work and build, the infrastructure and teams it takes to support all of this innovation, and beyond. It could be your idea is something no one’s ever even thought of before!
Our TechCrunch audience will then vote on the submitted topics and choose the titular sessions that will fill the programming of our AI industry event.
If your topic is chosen, you don’t just get to lead a discussion and take home some bragging rights. Breakout session speakers get access to our exclusive main stage of AI event programming, additional breakout sessions, and the opportunity to join in on small-group or even one-on-one networking opportunities. Your next investor or hire could come from this very event!
Other Sessions: AI speaker perks
As if getting a chance to drive a conversation amongst your peers wasn’t enough, you’ll also get some additional perks: Speakers and their companies get prominently featured across all of our event listings and agendas, both on our site and app. TechCrunch’s editorial team will be on the ground covering the event, and the breakout sessions, with associated social media promotion from TechCrunch in the lead-up to and after the event.
