TechCrunch is offering a special discount for those affected by layoffs to attend TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Qualifying attendees can purchase an Expo+ Pass for a reduced price of $75, limited to the first 100 people who claim the offer before the event begins on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. This pass provides access to a three-day event held at San Francisco’s Moscone West, where over 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders gather to explore new opportunities and build valuable connections within the startup and tech ecosystems.

The Expo+ Pass grants entry to the bustling Expo Hall featuring more than 300 exhibiting startups, breakout panel sessions with industry experts, and a range of side events such as meetups and workshops during Disrupt Week from October 10-16. Attendees can also leverage the TechCrunch Events app, which offers AI-powered matchmaking to facilitate relevant networking and one-on-one meetings, making it easier to create meaningful relationships that could lead to future job or business opportunities.

Beyond just job hunting, Disrupt is designed to immerse participants in the latest trends and strategies shaping the tech industry. Attendees can gain practical insights from 200+ sessions across six stages, engaging with prominent speakers from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Replit, and more. The event is an ideal platform for both learning what’s next and connecting with decision-makers, investors, and peers to help power the next step in their careers or startup ventures.

For those looking to deepen their Disrupt experience, other ticket options are available offering additional access to industry stages and roundtables beyond the Expo+ Pass. Additionally, there is a limited-time BOGO deal where registrants buying one pass can get 50% off a second pass of the same type until the event starts. This makes Disrupt a valuable opportunity to attend with colleagues or partners while saving on costs ahead of the conference’s kickoff on October 13.
