TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will be held at Moscone West in San Francisco on October 13-15, featuring 6 industry stages with OpenAI, Anthropic, Replit and other companies. More than 10,000 founders, investors, operators and technology leaders are expected to attend. Participants will be looking for companies to invest in, products to use, business partners and technologies to follow. A 25% discount on tickets was announced, while the campaign copy states savings of up to $300; under the current pricing period, it indicates discounts of up to $200 for those who register by September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Prices will increase after this date. September 18 was announced as the final day to reserve an exhibition table in the Expo Hall; the organizers stated that this would provide access to potential customers and investors, as well as brand visibility.
Why it matters
The announcement makes the timing of registration directly important for founders, investors, operators and technology leaders planning to attend the event, because it states that ticket costs will increase when the current pricing period ends. For companies seeking a presence in the exhibition area, September 18 represents a separate deadline for planning their goals for access to potential customers and investors. The presence of numerous technology companies and industry stages at the event may allow participants to evaluate product, partnership and investment opportunities in the same setting; however, this does not guarantee which meetings or connections will take place. The discrepancy over whether the ticket discount is $200 or up to $300 represents the key point that needs to be clarified before making a registration decision.
