TechCrunch partners with UC Berkeley to add artificial intelligence to its 2019 Robotics event, reflecting the deep convergence of the two fields. The April 18 conference expects over 1,000 attendees and offers various sponsorship opportunities for tech companies.

TechCrunch adds artificial intelligence to its annual robotics event, renaming it TC Sessions: Robotics + AI in partnership with UC Berkeley. This programming expansion reflects how inextricably AI is linked to the robotics field, creating both unprecedented opportunities and existential challenges for technology companies. The event takes place on April 18, 2019, at Zellerbach Hall.

Over 1,000 roboticists, founders, investors, engineers, and students attend the conference in person, while millions more view the panels, demos, interviews, and workshops online. Organizers expect a stellar lineup of speakers to address provocative questions about the convergence of these two technologies, following in the footsteps of past thought leaders from Boston Dynamics, Amazon Robotics, and MIT CSAIL.

The event offers targeted partnership opportunities for companies of all sizes to gain visibility with this influential audience. Sponsors can claim one of two 20-minute Innovation Breaks on the main stage or sponsor hour-long Breakout Sessions that run concurrently. These breakout sessions provide informal, intimate settings for workshops, demos, and panel discussions that consistently enjoy high levels of participation.
