TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2011, A Technology Conference & Hackathon

techcrunch-distrupt

TechCrunch Disrupt returns to New York City on May 23-25 at Pier 94, with a 24 hour Hackathon May 21-22.

The first Disrupt will once again take place in New York City on May 23-25, preceded by our ever popular Hackathon on May 21-22 in which pizza-fueled developers gather to hack together a product in 24 hours. Anything can happen at these events. Last year, Charlie Rose kicked off the event by interviewing legendary VC John Doerr, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz told Michael Arrington to “#@*k off,” and a real company emerged from the Hackathon—GroupMe, which later raised $10.6 million. During the main event, we launched two dozen startups, and the winner was an international startup, Soluto.
