TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 early-bird pricing expires in days

The opportunity to lock in reduced rates is rapidly disappearing. Attendees who purchase before September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT will secure savings of up to $200, after which ticket costs will increase.

Beyond attending sessions, Disrupt offers participants the chance to build relationships with key industry figures, gain early visibility into emerging trends before they reach mainstream awareness, and acquire knowledge applicable to their own work.

What Disrupt delivers

The 2026 edition of TechCrunch Disrupt will convene more than 10,000 founders, investors, operators and technology executives across three days, creating a concentrated environment for idea exchange, relationship building and deal-making throughout the startup world.

The program features over 250 speakers presenting across 200+ sessions on six separate stages. Content spans practical guidance on the trends reshaping company creation, capital raising and growth, covering domains including artificial intelligence, robotics, fintech, infrastructure and workplace transformation.

Networking opportunities include AI-assisted matching systems, one-on-one meeting arrangements and the Deal Flow Café, enabling attendees to connect with prospective investors, customers, strategic partners, team members and other collaborators.

The conference positions attendees to understand how industry leaders are tackling critical strategic challenges: artificial intelligence integration, establishing competitive moats, securing funding, recruiting talent, launching products and achieving scale.

An Expo Hall and six stages will showcase more than 300 startups, while the Startup Battlefield 200 competition will highlight emerging ventures. These elements allow participants to identify cutting-edge technologies and companies before they become widely recognized.

The conference emphasizes takeaways participants can immediately apply: capital-raising methodologies, market entry approaches and strategies for constructing resilient organizations in an AI-driven landscape.

Deadline approaching

The industry figures, insights and possibilities attendees seek will converge in San Francisco during October. The event runs October 13–15 at Moscone West. Securing a ticket by September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT preserves the $200 savings before rates increase.
