In just three years he and his partners have backed basically every important social media company — from Facebook and Twitter, to FourSquare and AirBnB. And they've already made a healthy return on their investments in Instagram , Groupon and Zynga . And let's not forget that Andreessen was one of the big thinkers of the first wave of Internet disruption: he co-founded Netscape.

Not all disruptors come from Silicon Valley: James Dyson, the inventor behind Dyson vacuum cleaners will take the stage.

We'll also hear from Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford . He'll be talking about the car as "The Ultimate Mobile App" with Wired Editor-in-chief Chris Anderson.
