TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 offers up to $300 off passes until August 21, ahead of an AI-focused October 13 to 15 startup event in San Francisco at Moscone West.
Summary
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026’s lowest pass prices expire Friday, August 21, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Buyers can save up to $300 on an individual pass, while groups receive a larger, unspecified discount; rates rise after the deadline. The event runs October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco and expects more than 10,000 founders, investors and startup community members.
Programming centers on building companies in the AI era and preparing for 2027. New stages include Real World AI, covering robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, healthcare and defense; Smart Money, covering fintech, stablecoins, payments, embedded finance and AI-driven financial services; and Smart Systems, covering chips, compute, energy, networking and data centers. The Disrupt, AI and Builders stages return. Speakers include Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe; Amazon SVP of Devices, Alexa and Leo Panos Panay; and Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider and COO Rose Wang.
Attendees are promised practical guidance from founders, operators and VCs, direct investor and founder access, AI-powered networking through the event app, Side Events, and early exposure to technologies and startups in the Exhibit Hall. TechCrunch says purchases through article links may generate a small commission without affecting editorial independence, but the source does not provide pass prices, the group discount amount or detailed offer terms.
