TechCrunch has announced a final week of discounted tickets for its flagship Disrupt 2026 conference, with savings of nearly $500 available until Friday, April 10. The event, one of the most anticipated in the technology calendar, will take place from October 13–15 at San Francisco's Moscone West, bringing together an expected 10,000 founders, investors, and operators.
The organisers have confirmed there will be no extension to the promotional offer, which expires at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on April 10. Ticket prices are scheduled to increase as the October event approaches, making this the last major opportunity for attendees to secure a reduced rate.
Conference Scope and Key Attractions
The three-day conference is designed as a launchpad for scaling companies and facilitating high-level connections. A core attraction is the Startup Battlefield 200 competition, where one company will win a $100,000 equity-free prize. Attendees will also be able to explore more than 300 exhibiting startups and participate in events hosted by official Disrupt Side Event partners.
Past editions have featured influential speakers including WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, Phia co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni, and investor Vinod Khosla, alongside executives from Google Cloud, Netflix, and Waymo. The 2026 speaker agenda is yet to be fully released.
