- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 extended its lowest-price pass deadline to 11:59 p.m. PT on Tuesday, August 25, offering savings of up to $300 per pass and larger discounts on group pricing after reader feedback prompted the extension
- Disrupt 2026 runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, with expected attendance of more than 10,000 founders, investors, and startup community members
- The conference features speakers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Replit, Amazon, and Databricks, with confirmed names including Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe, Amazon SVP Panos Panay, and Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider and COO Rose Wang
- New programming stages for 2026 include the Real World AI Stage (robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, healthcare, defense), Smart Money Stage (fintech, stablecoins, payments, embedded finance), and Smart Systems Stage (chips, compute, energy, networking, data centers)
Why it matters: Founders and investors who delay past the August 25 cutoff will pay up to $300 more per pass, making this the final window for the steepest available discount. The speaker slate — spanning OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, and Rivian — signals where TechCrunch is placing its editorial weight for 2026: AI-era infrastructure, applied AI, and the financial systems built on top of it.
