Last Call: TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Exhibit Deadline Closes in Three Days

The window to book an exhibit space at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is rapidly narrowing. Startups seeking to display their products on the Expo Hall floor must complete their bookings by Friday, October 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT—marking the final deadline before the event takes place October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Once that deadline passes, no additional exhibitors will be accepted, leaving companies that miss the cutoff to wait until next year for another chance to reach this audience.

The stakes are significant. During those three days in October, the Expo Hall will draw 10,000+ founders, investors, operators, and technology leaders actively searching for startups to fund, products to adopt, partners to collaborate with, and emerging technologies worth monitoring. Competitors, prospective customers, potential backers, and media representatives will all be present, making decisions about which companies deserve their attention. Absence from the floor means missing direct access to decision-makers in a concentrated setting.

Positioning Your Startup for Maximum Visibility

The Expo Hall generates the highest foot traffic at Disrupt, offering exhibitors three consecutive days to transform visibility into substantive business conversations. A booth placement puts your team directly in front of customers, capital sources, partnership prospects, and other influential figures actively exploring the floor.

• Demonstrate your product directly to potential customers, investors, and partners
• Connect with venture capitalists actively evaluating new investment opportunities
• Capture leads through the Disrupt mobile application
• Establish customer and partnership relationships through in-person engagement
• Expose your brand to thousands of attendees moving through the Expo Hall

The $12,500 exhibit package provides a 6′ × 30″ table for the entire three-day event, 10 team passes, lead-capture capabilities, website and app visibility, access to the press list, Silver Tier sponsor recognition, and additional benefits. Founding teams also gain entry to specialized programming such as the Deal Flow Café and Investor-to-Founder Networking sessions.

We love TechCrunch Disrupt because it's so active, it's dynamic, really great for us to collaborate with the community.

Three Days to Build Momentum and Open Doors

Startups that commit to exhibiting gain the opportunity to initiate conversations with influential attendees. Those that capture attention can convert those interactions into qualified leads, strategic partnerships, customer relationships, and investment interest. Waiting until October to regret an absent booth presence is a missed opportunity—your competitors, target customers, and potential investors will already be there.

Beyond the Booth: The Full Disrupt Experience

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 extends far beyond the Expo Hall. The event features 250+ prominent technology figures delivering talks across 200+ sessions distributed across six industry stages, addressing critical themes in artificial intelligence, fintech, robotics, infrastructure, and related domains.

The Expo Hall itself showcases 300+ startups and the products competing to shape the next wave of innovation. Whether your goal is to present what you have built or to identify what to build, fund, or acquire next, Disrupt assembles the people and opportunities essential to moving forward.
