With just six days remaining, attendees can still secure discounted admission to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The current ticket pricing structure is scheduled to expire on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, offering potential savings of up to $200 before costs increase.
The annual conference is set to take place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Organizers expect more than 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and technology leaders to gather for the three-day event focused on the startup ecosystem.
The agenda features over 250 speakers and 200 sessions distributed across six stages. Prominent participants in the programming include companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Replit. Topics will cover a broad range of industries, including artificial intelligence, robotics, fintech, infrastructure, and the future of work.
Beyond the stage presentations, the event emphasizes networking and practical application. Attendees will have access to AI-powered matchmaking tools, one-on-one meetings, and the Deal Flow Café to connect with potential investors, partners, and hires. The Expo Hall will showcase over 300 startups, including the Startup Battlefield 200 competition, allowing guests to identify emerging technologies before they reach the mainstream.
Key discussions are expected to address strategic challenges related to competitive advantage, fundraising, talent acquisition, and go-to-market tactics. Organizers describe the experience as designed to provide actionable insights for building resilient companies in the current AI era.
Skeptical about the hype, but saving $200 is hard to ignore. Hope the startup pitches are less pitchy and more substantive this year.
Six days left! Already booked my trip to SF. The AI matchmaking sounds like a game changer for finding the right investors.
