- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is offering up to $300 off individual passes and larger group discounts, but the deal expires Friday, August 21 at 11:59 p.m. PT
- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 runs October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, drawing more than 10,000 founders, investors, and startup community members
- TechCrunch has added three new stages — Real World AI, Smart Money, and Smart Systems — alongside its returning Disrupt, AI, and Builders Stages
- Confirmed speakers include Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe, Amazon SVP of Devices, Alexa and Leo Panos Panay, and Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider and COO Rose Wang
- The programming spans AI's real-world applications (robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, healthcare, defense) plus the infrastructure underneath (chips, compute, energy, networking, data centers)
- Attendees get AI-powered networking through the event app, access to Side Events, and an Exhibit Hall offering early visibility into startups before they reach the mainstream
Why it matters: For startup founders, investors, and operators weighing whether to attend, missing the August 21 deadline means paying up to $300 more per pass — and the AI-themed lineup (Real World AI, Smart Money, Smart Systems stages) and speaker roster suggest this year's Disrupt is positioning itself as the marquee gathering for AI-era dealmaking heading into 2027.
