What happened
TechCrunch published the full roundtable lineup for Disrupt 2026, held October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco with 10,000+ founders, investors, and operators attending; passes are currently $100 off with a second at 50%. Named sessions include Radha Basu (iMerit) on data challenges for physical AI and robotics, and Smartsheet CEO Rajeev Singh on 'Is SaaS Dead? AI Is Exposing What Enterprise Software Got Wrong,' framed around orchestration and organizational context. The rest of the article is truncated mid-listing and is largely registration promotion.
Why it matters
There is no Malaysia or Southeast Asia hook here and nothing a builder has to change: this is an event ad for an in-person San Francisco conference, so the only actionable items are the discount deadline and whether a roundtable title is worth copying as a topic for your own local meetup. The one transferable idea is the Smartsheet session's premise that AI is exposing fragmentation under SaaS rather than replacing it, which is a framing Malaysian SaaS teams can argue about without paying for a plane ticket.
Discussion angle
Take the 'Is SaaS Dead?' framing seriously for five minutes: if orchestration and organizational context are the next enterprise software layer, what does that mean for a small Malaysian SaaS team shipping a single-purpose tool — build the orchestration layer, or stay a component that a bigger orchestrator calls?
