TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is set to kick off tomorrow, October 13, at 8 a.m. PT at Moscone West in San Francisco. This three-day event will bring together over 10,000 founders, investors, and tech operators to explore new ideas and connect with emerging startups shaping the future of technology. Attendees have just 24 hours left to take advantage of ticket savings of up to $100, with an additional 50% discount on a second ticket of the same type, encouraging participants to bring colleagues, co-founders, or peers.

The event will showcase more than 300 startups exhibiting their innovations in the Expo Hall, where networking and discovery are central. Attendees can engage in over 200 sessions spread across six stages, including interactive roundtables and Q&A sessions led by 250+ top tech leaders. One of the highlights will be the live competition of 20 Startup Battlefield finalists battling for a $100,000 prize on the Disrupt Stage, providing an exciting glimpse into groundbreaking new ventures.

TechCrunch Disrupt is known for its dynamic mix of founders seeking investment, investors scouting opportunities, and industry leaders sharing insights. The conference offers an AI-powered matchmaking app to facilitate meaningful connections throughout the event, making it easier than ever to meet the right people for collaboration and growth. For groups of four or more, additional community pass discounts are available to maximize savings.

Individuals recently laid off from their jobs can still join the event with a special Expo+ Pass priced at $75, ensuring the tech community remains accessible during challenging times. Registration at this point is critical to avoid paying higher prices at the door, as well as to secure access to all the networking, sessions, and startup showcases that define Disrupt as a premier tech festival.
