Today is, sadly, the final day of Disrupt London. But though we’re heartbroken that our London conference is coming to an end, we’re thrilled about the content we have in store for you today.
We’ll be joined by Brian Armstrong from Coinbase, Michael Acton Smith from Mind Candy, and Ed Vaizey, the British Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy, among many, many more.
Plus, we’ll find out which of the Startup Battlefield finalists will take home the Disrupt Cup, some cash, and bragging rights for the next year.
It’s going to be a blast!
But if you can’t make it down to foggy London town, you can at least watch the whole thing from the comfort of your own home or office.
