Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Is Going To Keep Up The Disruption At Disrupt SF

You might have heard of Uber and its quest to transform the way we transport ourselves from one place to another. You might have also heard that the company has faced some challenges along the way, challenges to which it didn’t and still doesn’t flinch.

You also also might have heard that the company now faces some stiff competition, and is making adjustments accordingly. Disrupt! (We love that word.)

In an ode to all that is badass about startupery and its motto of “breaking stuff in order to fix it,” Uber CEO Travis Kalanick will be at Disrupt SF, taking the stage with me in a twenty-minute fireside chat, to talk about, oh, well all the crazy stuff he’s been up to these past couple of months.

Again with this noise: Get your tickets here while you still can. As always, if you are interested in becoming a sponsor, opportunities can be found here. Students can also come and be a part of Disrupt SF. We only have 300 student tickets available (many are sold out), so be sure to go here to find out how to get yours quickly.
