TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is offering significant savings on event passes, with discounts reaching up to $300 available through Friday, August 21 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After this deadline, attendees will no longer be able to access these promotional prices, and rates are expected to increase. The conference will take place in San Francisco from October 13-15 at Moscone West, bringing together the startup ecosystem for three days of industry programming.
The annual event attracts over 10,000 participants, including founders, investors, and startup community members. This year’s programming emphasizes artificial intelligence applications across multiple new stages, including the Real World AI Stage, which explores robotics and autonomous systems, and the Smart Systems Stage, focused on computing infrastructure. Confirmed speakers include executives from major companies such as Rivian, Amazon, and Bluesky.
Disrupt caters to diverse attendees beyond founders, offering value to those seeking investment capital, scouting opportunities, recruiting talent, or building partnerships. The event features networking opportunities, an exhibit hall showcasing emerging technologies, and multiple specialized programming tracks. Whether attendees are students entering the industry or established investors, the early-bird pricing represents the lowest available rates before the conference takes place this fall.
