TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 launches limited-time ticket promotion ahead of San Francisco summit
The promotion, which expires on 8 May, encourages founders and investors to attend the gathering at Moscone West with a partner or colleague to enhance networking opportunities across six industry stages.
TechCrunch has announced a limited-time promotion for its upcoming Disrupt 2026 summit, offering a 50 per cent discount on a second ticket of the same type for every pass purchased. The offer is available for a strict three-day window, running from 6 May until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on 8 May 2026.
The event is scheduled to take place from 13 to 15 October 2026 at Moscone West in San Francisco. It is expected to attract over 10,000 attendees, including founders, investors, and operators, who will participate in more than 250 sessions and view presentations from 300+ startups.
According to the organisers, the promotion is designed to facilitate deeper engagement by allowing attendees to bring a partner, co-founder, or colleague to the event. The rationale is that bringing multiple stakeholders reinforces credibility across different conversations and contexts, rather than relying on a single interaction during the three-day gathering.
The summit will feature six industry stages covering artificial intelligence, robotics, biotech, fintech, and energy infrastructure. Sessions are intended to move beyond surface-level visibility, focusing instead on practical frameworks for scaling, fundraising, and execution that help companies earn trust in real time.
Specific themes include the application of AI in physical systems such as robotics and biotech, the rebuilding of finance through stablecoins and payments infrastructure, and the transformation of energy and industrial systems via software. The agenda aims to provide founders with the authority to discuss growth and execution with confidence.
While the specific base pricing of the tickets is not disclosed in the source material, the discount applies strictly to purchasing a second ticket of the identical type to the first. Availability of the discounted tickets is not guaranteed and is subject to stock levels once the promotional window closes.
Organisers emphasise that the repetition of exposure to the same investors, partners, and media outlets is what turns initial visibility into lasting credibility. The event aims to position participants within the broader narrative of where the market is heading through concentrated evaluation and discovery.
