Early Bird Pricing for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Ends May 29

m. PT. The event is scheduled for October 13–15, 2026, at Moscone West in San Francisco. The conference will feature Startup Battlefield 200, where selected startups pitch to venture capital firms for a $100,000 equity-free prize. Additional programming includes Deal Flow Café sessions, curated matchmaking meetings, and an Expo Hall for live product demonstrations.

More than 10,000 founders, investors, and operators are expected, along with over 300 startups. The agenda lists sessions led by partners from Index Ventures, True Ventures, M13, Sapphire Ventures, CapitalG, and Peak XV, as well as executives from Coinbase, Gamma, Decart, Gusto, Databricks, and Airbyte.

Attendees also gain access to 80-plus side events across the Bay Area for additional networking and workshops. Organizers state that the format is designed to facilitate direct investor-founder conversations.

Registration before the May 29 deadline allows savings of up to $410 compared with later pricing. After that date, ticket prices increase. TechCrunch reported that the event is intended to compress typical fundraising timelines by enabling in-person meetings during the three-day conference.
