The schedule for the final stretch remains packed, headlined by appearances from actor Mark Wahlberg, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, and Amazon’s Panos Panay. Attendees can also catch a rare joint appearance featuring all five Benchmark partners, alongside leadership insights from Bluesky’s Toni Schneider and Rose Wang. The event’s two dedicated AI stages continue to host key industry figures, including OpenAI’s Alexander Embiricos, who will discuss the launch of the company’s Dots agents, with further contributions from representatives at Anthropic, Hugging Face, and Clay.

Beyond the stage programming, the Expo Hall remains open with over 320 startups on display. The Startup Battlefield 200 pitch competition is ongoing, complemented by interactive roundtable sessions and various networking opportunities throughout the city. Discounted passes range from $175 for an Expo+ ticket to $600 for an Investor Pass, with specialized rates available for students and non-profits at $200 and $250 respectively. The offer serves as a final push for founders and industry professionals seeking to secure funding, find co-founders, or expand their professional networks before the conference concludes.
