- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is offering up to $300 off individual passes, with larger group discounts also available, until August 21 at 11:59 p.m. PT, after which ticket prices increase.
- The conference runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco and annually draws more than 10,000 founders, investors, and startup community members.
- Three new programming stages debut this year: the Real World AI Stage (robotics, autonomous systems, healthcare, defense), Smart Money Stage (fintech, stablecoins, embedded finance), and Smart Systems Stage (chips, compute, energy, data centers).
- Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe, Amazon SVP of Devices, Alexa and Leo Panos Panay, and Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider and COO Rose Wang are among the featured speakers across the event's stages.
- The agenda's stated focus is on building and developing companies in the AI era, with the Disrupt, AI, and Builders Stages returning alongside the three new stages.
Why it matters: Attendees who wait past the August 21 deadline lose up to $300 per pass, with proportionally bigger savings available to groups buying before the cutoff. The three new AI-themed stages — covering physical-world robotics, financial infrastructure, and compute/chips — reflect the event's stated programming pivot toward AI-era builders heading into 2027.
