Disrupt NY<\/a> is right around the corner, and\u00a0we are delighted to reveal the agenda<\/a>\u00a0for the conference, which returns to Manhattan this year.\u00a0Tech luminaries, TechCrunch\u2019s famed Startup Battlefield Competition<\/a>,\u00a0Disrupt after-parties and, for the first time ever, a live concert are on tap, and at the end of it all, one startup will take home $50,000 and the Disrupt Cup.<\/p>\n

And author, famed World Chess Champion and political enthusiast\u00a0Garry Kasparov<\/a>\u00a0will talk about his new book, \u201cDeep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger<\/a> is set to close the show on Wednesday, May 17th with a special musical presentation, featuring Pharrell Williams<\/a> and Incubus<\/a>, that will demonstrate the technology developed by his startup, MIXhalo. We\u2019ll hear about what exciting things Instagram\u2019s head of product, Kevin Weil,<\/a> has in store for us and we\u2019ll hear from the co-founder of Campaign Zero,\u00a0Brittany Packnett<\/a>, about how data is used in social movements.
