5 days to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: Don’t pay more at the door for your pass

Five days from now, the global tech ecosystem gathers at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. If Disrupt is already on your calendar, but your ticket isn’t in your inbox, now is the time to change that before prices go up.

Final discounted rates are still available before event doors open at 8 a.m. PT on October 13, with pass savings of up to $100. Coming as a pair? Get 50% off a second pass of the same type. Or take advantage of more savings with a group of four or more.

If insightful content is what you’re coming for, Disrupt gives you 200+ sessions across six stages to choose from. Explore the agenda to get to know the sessions and speakers.

The Disrupt Stage brings together the biggest conversations in tech and the ultimate pitch competition, Startup Battlefield 200. Hear from leaders like Max Hodak (Science Corporation), Garrett Langley (Flock), Andrew Feldman (Cerebras Systems), plus a special appearance by Mark Wahlberg, and more.

Builders Stage is a giant tactical workshop on fundraising, hiring, product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, and scaling. Featuring leaders from Nvidia, Uber, Google Cloud, Lovable, and more.

AI Stage digs into technologies and business models being reshaped by generative and agentic AI. These conversations are led by leaders from Luma, AWS, Anthropic, OpenAI, and many more.

Real World AI Stage looks at where AI is already being deployed across the physical world. Witness live robotics demonstrations, and hear from leaders from General Motors, Agility Robotics, Waabi, and more.

Smart Money Stage covers fintech, payments, stablecoins, and financial infrastructure with discussions shaped by leaders from Robinhood, Airwallex, American Express, and more.

Smart Systems Stage explores data centers, energy, automation, and robotics in conversations led by Helion, Ambrosia Energy, Inertia, and more.

Bonus: You can also partake in interactive roundtables, Q&A breakout sessions, and unparalleled networking. There are plenty of ways to shape the event around what matters most to you.

But you don’t have to build your Disrupt around the stages. The Expo Hall offers a different kind of experience, giving you the freedom to explore 300+ companies and products at your own pace, talk directly with the people building them, and uncover ideas outside your usual network.

You’ll also have the opportunity to witness live pitches from early-stage startups looking to perfect their pitch and be noticed by VCs.

Five days remain. Get your discounted pass from $299, plus get 50% off a second pass of the same type before prices increase at the event. Laid off? Grab your Expo+ Layoff ticket for just $75 before they run out.
