TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 has announced a limited-time offer designed for founders, investors, students and technology teams planning to attend the event together. Participants who purchase one pass can receive 50% off a second pass of the same category.
The offer remains available until 8 a.m. PT on October 13, when the event opens at Moscone West in San Francisco. Disrupt 2026 will run from October 13 to 15, bringing together more than 10,000 founders, investors and technology leaders.
A shared approach to emerging technology
The three-day program is expected to feature more than 300 startups, over 200 practical sessions and 250 industry speakers. Conversations will span artificial intelligence, fintech, digital infrastructure, product development, growth and entrepreneurship.
Attending with a co-founder, colleague or partner can help teams divide sessions, exchange insights in real time and build a broader network across the event. The program also uses AI-supported matchmaking to help participants identify relevant conversations and professional connections.
Pass options for different innovation communities
The second-pass discount applies across several access types, including investor, founder, attendee, nonprofit, student and Expo+ passes. Savings vary by category, with investor passes offering discounts of up to $450 and founder passes offering savings of up to $425 on the second registration.
For early-stage builders, the event provides an opportunity to meet potential backers and collaborators. Operators can explore ideas for product, engineering and go-to-market strategies, while students and nonprofit teams can connect with technology communities shaping new solutions.
The campaign highlights a wider shift in professional events: value increasingly comes not only from listening to speakers, but from turning shared discoveries into practical next steps. Collaborative attendance may help more teams transform emerging technology insights into future products, partnerships and ventures.
