Founders and investors have until Friday evening to secure discounts of up to $300 for the annual startup gathering, which will host over 10,000 attendees in San Francisco.
TechCrunch has announced that the window for discounted admission to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 closes on Friday, August 21 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The publisher is offering savings of up to $300 on individual passes, with additional reductions available for group bookings. Once the deadline passes, standard pricing will apply for the event scheduled for October 13-15.
The conference will take place at Moscone West in San Francisco, continuing its tradition as a central hub for the global startup ecosystem. Organisers expect the gathering to draw more than 10,000 participants, including founders, venture capitalists, and members of the broader technology community.
This year’s programming places a specific emphasis on the artificial intelligence era. The event features the return of the Disrupt, AI, and Builders stages, which will host a new slate of speakers. The agenda is designed to address the development and deployment of AI technologies as they impact business models and investment strategies heading into 2027.
Beyond the main stages, the conference offers networking opportunities for a variety of professional objectives. Attendees can utilise the platform to raise capital, scout investment opportunities, recruit talent, or launch new ventures. The structure aims to facilitate connections that support growth and strategic partnerships within the tech sector.
TechCrunch positions the event as a critical touchpoint for those seeking to remain competitive in the evolving technology landscape. The final hours of the discount period represent the last opportunity for attendees to secure lower rates before the event proceeds to full pricing tiers.
