TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is set to take place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, bringing together over 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders in one of the most anticipated tech events of the year. Today, October 2, marks the final day for startups to reserve exhibit tables in the Expo Hall, the event’s vibrant core where companies showcase their innovations and connect with key industry players. Exhibiting offers a prime opportunity to demo products, initiate talks with investors and partners, and generate valuable leads through integrated tools like the event app.

An exhibit table provides more than just booth space; it includes perks such as 10 team passes, branding across the event’s digital and physical platforms, access to investor networking zones like the Deal Flow Café, and Wi-Fi support. Founders can leverage these features to maximize exposure, gain investor interest, and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond the event. The Disrupt experience also offers discounted tickets allowing attendees to bring colleagues or partners at half price, fostering expanded networking and collaboration.

For those impacted by recent layoffs, TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 introduces a special $75 Expo+ Pass, designed to affordably connect job seekers with over 300 startups and extensive programming focused on practical insights, networking, and career opportunities. With access to the Expo Hall, breakout sessions, side events, and AI matchmaking tools, this pass aims to help attendees navigate career transitions and tap into the evolving tech ecosystem during “Disrupt Week” from October 10 to 16.

The event features more than 200 sessions across six industry stages, covering topics from AI and fintech to robotics and biotech, with speakers including renowned founders and investors. Notably, Blackstone’s Jas Khaira will share insights into building enduring AI companies, highlighting capital strategies and long-term growth beyond initial momentum. TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 promises a comprehensive platform for startups to showcase innovation, secure funding, and shape the future of technology.
