Here’s how Jessica McLean, director of marketing and communications for Infinite-Compute, described some of the benefits of going to Disrupt:

“Tech startups go to Disrupt to show off their stuff. It’s the perfect place to scope out the competition, network with potential investors, get a feel for how other companies position themselves and to see what’s trending.”
