Organisers of the TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 conference have issued a final reminder that Super Early Bird ticket pricing ends this Friday, February 27, at 11:59 p.m. PT. The event, a cornerstone of the technology and venture capital calendar, will take place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
Attendees registering before the deadline can save up to $680 on an individual pass or up to 30% on group passes. The conference is expected to draw over 10,000 founders, operators, and investors for three days of networking, deal-making, and sessions.
Access to Growth and Deal Flow
The event is marketed not merely as a content series but as a platform for accelerated growth. Organisers emphasise that the value lies in high-signal conversations and actionable insights, with more than 20,000 curated meetings having taken place on-site last year.
“You don’t attend Disrupt to sit in the audience. You go to gain leverage,” the promotional material states, highlighting that every element is designed to compound a company's momentum.
Programme and Notable Features
The 2026 agenda will feature over 200 sessions with 250+ tech and VC leaders, building on the 2025 programme which covered AI, hardware, space, and startup growth. The speaker roster has historically included category-defining leaders and top-tier venture capitalists.
A key returning feature is the Startup Battlefield, where 200 pre-Series A companies will compete for $100,000 in equity-free funding and global visibility. Past alumni of the competition include major companies such as Discord, Cloudflare, and Trello.
Expanded Ecosystem and Discovery
The event will host over 300 startup exhibitors in its Expo Hall, positioning it as a primary venue for discovering emerging trends and companies. Attendees will be able to test new products, meet founding teams, and identify potential investment or partnership opportunities.
Furthermore, the Disrupt Side Events will run from October 11 to 17 across the Bay Area, extending networking opportunities through breakfasts, cocktail hours, and founder meetups beyond the main conference venue.
With the pricing deadline imminent, the final call targets professionals for whom 2026 represents a critical year to fundraise, hire, scale, or launch. Registration remains open via the official TechCrunch Disrupt website.
