TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 opens tomorrow: Last chance to lock in ticket discounts
The conference brings together over 10,000 founders, investors and tech leaders at San Francisco's Moscone West starting October 13. Early registrants can save up to $100 on passes before the deadline expires.
Beginning tomorrow at 8 a.m. PT, TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will convene more than 10,000 founders, investors, and technology operators at San Francisco's Moscone West for a three-day event focused on emerging ideas, business connections, and startups defining the industry's future. Those still deciding whether to attend have one final day to purchase tickets at discounted rates—savings reach as high as $100 per pass.
Attendees registering now can also bring a second guest at 50% off the same ticket tier. Groups of four or more participants qualify for additional community discounts. Those who have recently experienced layoffs can attend with an Expo+ Pass priced at just $75.
The ecosystem assembles across three days
The Expo Hall will feature over 300 participating emerging startups, providing opportunities to meet founders, view product launches, and establish relationships throughout the startup community. This central venue serves as the gathering point for all attendees.
The event spans more than 200 sessions distributed across six stages, alongside interactive roundtables and question-and-answer sessions. Attendees will hear from 250+ industry figures who have shaped the technology landscape, explore critical industry topics, and witness 20 finalists in the Startup Battlefield competition vie for a $100,000 prize on the main Disrupt Stage. Participants can construct their own customized schedule across the three-day program.
Disrupt distinguishes itself by bringing together stakeholders with different objectives: entrepreneurs seeking capital, investors evaluating promising companies, business leaders hunting for technology solutions, and industry figures exploring new directions. The event's AI-powered matchmaking system embedded in the mobile app helps attendees identify and connect with others who can create meaningful business opportunities.
Register before the deadline
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 begins October 13 at 8 a.m. PT and concludes October 15 at Moscone West. Early registration delivers savings of up to $100 on individual passes, with companion tickets available at 50% discount. Groups of four or more can access additional pricing benefits. Those affected by recent job cuts can purchase an Expo+ Pass for $75.
