TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will bring founders, investors, operators and technology leaders together in San Francisco from October 13 to 15. Hosted at Moscone West, the event is expected to welcome more than 10,000 attendees exploring new products, emerging ideas and scalable business partnerships.
A three-day stage for startup discovery
The Expo Hall will offer startups a direct setting to demonstrate their products, meet potential customers and begin conversations with investors and collaborators. Exhibitor packages include a three-day presence in the hall, team passes, event-app lead tools, connectivity support and brand visibility across the event platform.
For participating companies, the format is designed to turn product demonstrations into practical business opportunities. Founders will also have access to dedicated networking formats, including investor-focused meetings and the Deal Flow Café.
Ideas, connections and practical insight
Beyond the exhibition area, Disrupt 2026 will feature more than 250 technology leaders across over 200 sessions, held on six industry stages alongside roundtables and interactive discussions. Topics will focus on building, funding and scaling technology ventures.
Attendees can also explore more than 300 startups and follow the Startup Battlefield 200, the event's pitch-focused program for emerging companies. AI-supported matchmaking tools are expected to help participants identify more relevant professional connections during the gathering.
Exhibition table reservations are scheduled to close on October 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, subject to remaining availability. As startup ecosystems become increasingly global and interconnected, events such as Disrupt may continue to accelerate the path from early-stage ideas to real-world collaborations.
