AI — it’s all but inescapable, whether you follow consumer tech, security, science, finance, transportation, or pretty much any other sector that’s evolving at a breakneck pace. But do you really know where AI is going, and which companies are emerging from the fray?

You’ll find your answers at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, Oct 27-29 in San Francisco. It’s the leading conference for tech innovators, start-up visionaries, and the VC leaders who help it all come together. And now PCWorld is happy to partner with TechCrunch to offer a 25% discount on Disrupt tickets, directly to our audience of tech enthusiasts.

Whether you’re an investor, a founder or even a student, you can claim your 25% discount with the coupon code “PCWorld25” (the code should appear automatically when you purchase tickets after clicking the link above).

At this year’s Disrupt, there will be two full days of AI discussion and presentations. Speakers include C-Suite leaders from Lovable (simple, AI-powered app development); Hugging Face (advanced tools for machine learning); and Wayve (next-gen autonomous driving tech).

But maybe the biggest draw will be Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures, one of the world’s most influential AI investors. He made big waves at last year’s Disrupt, opining on both AI’s opportunities and risks, and the intersection of tech and politics. His return visit to the stage will be a can’t-miss event.

There will also be live AI robotics demos with leaders from Apptronik and Waabi. The Apptronik demo alone should be spectacular if this video is any indication.

Disrupt is the premier venue for startups and investors to mingle and share ideas that advance their businesses and goals. But it’s also ground zero for tech enthusiasts to see the next big thing before anyone else. Attendees can:

• See what’s next in tech with up-close and personal access to creators.
• Make a year’s worth of personal connections in just three days.
• Witness Startup Battlefield 200, a “Shark Tank”-style competition where startup founders compete to win a $100,000 equity-free prize and the coveted TechCrunch cup.

Last year’s Battlefield 200 was fascinating, and finalists included Gecko Materials, which makes a super-cool “dry adhesive” based on the physical properties of a gecko’s foot, along with MabLab, which creates real-time testing strips that can check drinks and party drugs for dangerous agents like crystal meth and xylazine.
