Announcing DISRUPT Beijing

Announcing DISRUPT Beijing

Posted on: 08-9-2011 Posted in: BEJ2011

TechCrunch is going to Beijing for our first international Disrupt in China. TechCrunch has long been a blog that covers more than just the Silicon Valley echo-chamber and in the future we want to be anywhere top entrepreneurs are. It’s hard to think of any place more exciting, challenging and lucrative than China right now. As home to the world’s largest Web audience and two of the five largest Web companies in the world, China proves the best Web entrepreneurs are no longer all in Silicon Valley.

Just like in New York and San Francisco, we’ll have some lively stage debates showcasing big names from Silicon Valley and China, and a Battlefield Startup Competition.

And developers, SAVE THE DATE! We plan to host a Hackathon event October 29-30 also at the CNCC more details soon.
