This is it, kids. The first day of Disrupt. The agenda is jammed with amazing speakers and companies launching in the Startup Battlefield. Tune in all day for the complete show and, as always, you can follow along using the #tcdisrupt hashtag.
Tickets are still available for the three day event. I know we say this every year, but this is the best Disrupt yet.
