Last year at Disrupt, we spoke with founders about their experiences and discovered the results of their attendance firsthand. One founder saw a 3x oversubscription rate after their confirmation for Startup Battlefield and more than 100 investor inbounds helping fuel conversations about a future fundraising round. Another founder had nearly 30 back-to-back conversations with investors who flocked to them after a pitch onstage and followed them to their booth.

在去年的 Disrupt 大会上，我们与创始人交流了他们的参会体验，并亲眼见证了参会带来的成果。一位创始人在确认入围 Startup Battlefield 后，其融资认购率翻了三倍，并收到了超过 100 位投资者的主动联络，为后续的融资对话提供了助力。另一位创始人则在台上路演后，吸引了大量投资者蜂拥而至，并跟随他们来到展位，进行了近 30 场接连不断的深度交流。

That’s not the exception at Disrupt — that’s the point. And those opportunities aren’t just available for Battlefield finalists. Every conversation in the Expo Hall or in a Side Event can create an opportunity for your startup. For years, whether it’s been held in New York, San Francisco, or elsewhere, Disrupt has brought together thousands of founders, investors, startup team members, and tech leaders.

这在 Disrupt 大会上并非个例，而是大会的核心意义所在。这些机会不仅限于 Battlefield 的决赛选手。在展厅或周边活动中的每一次交谈，都可能为你的初创公司创造机遇。多年来，无论是在纽约、旧金山还是其他城市举办，Disrupt 始终汇聚了成千上万的创始人、投资者、初创团队成员和科技领袖。

We’re keeping that mission alive at SF’s Moscone West, this October 13-15 with a packed lineup of speakers, more than 200 expert sessions, a wealth of organized and serendipitous networking opportunities, and most of all, the chance to be in the same room as the person who could change your nascent idea for a company or your current startup’s trajectory.

我们将于 10 月 13 日至 15 日在旧金山的 Moscone West 继续践行这一使命。届时将有强大的演讲嘉宾阵容、超过 200 场专家会议、丰富且充满意外惊喜的社交机会，最重要的是，你将有机会与那些可能改变你公司萌芽期构想或当前初创企业发展轨迹的人共处一室。
