TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Slashes Ticket Prices 50% for Final Two Days in San Francisco

Although the opening day of TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 has wrapped, two more days of events await attendees at San Francisco's Moscone West on October 14-15. To capitalize on this final stretch, the conference is cutting ticket costs in half across every admission tier, making it an opportune moment to experience the remaining speakers, sessions and networking activities.

The Disrupt Stage continues to draw marquee talent. Upcoming speakers include actor Mark Wahlberg, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, all five Benchmark partners appearing together in a rare joint session, Amazon's Panos Panay, Bluesky CEO and COO Toni Schneider, and Rose Wang, among others.

Two dedicated AI Stages will showcase enterprise and research perspectives, with OpenAI's Head of Enterprise Product Alexander Embiricos discussing the rollout of their Dots agents. Additional speakers include executives from Anthropic, Hugging Face, Clay and other organizations working in the space.

Beyond the main stage programming, attendees can explore more than 320 exhibitors in the expanded Expo Hall, participate in Breakouts and Roundtable sessions, take advantage of networking opportunities throughout San Francisco, and watch the Startup Battlefield 200 pitch competition continue on the Disrupt Stage.
