TechCrunch Disrupt is the annual conference hosted by, you guessed it, TechCrunch. This year Disrupt was live in San Francisco October 18-20. Among the event\u2019s many highlights was the pitch session when new technology startups launch their products and services, competing in front of venture capital investors and media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all conferences, Disrupt offers numerous breakout sessions, and this year Cloudinary CMO, Saranya Babu delivered her presentation Building the Visual Economy Through Developer-led Innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Saranya explains in her presentation, developer-led innovation is a bottom-up approach that relies on leadership and developer collaboration to build solutions and solve business problems using technology. While the concept predates the pandemic its relevance and prevalence have only gained due to the rise of the visual economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visual economy is big. Not only in size \u2013 because nearly everyone on earth now makes purchases online \u2013 but in value. Retail e-commerce sales amounted to approximately $4.9 trillion worldwide in 2021<\/a> and are forecasted to reach $7.4 trillion by 2025, representing a 50% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what\u2019s the correlation between developer-led innovation and the visual economy? Tune into Saranya\u2019s presentation to get the full story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
