TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is set to begin in three days at Moscone West in San Francisco, where hundreds of startups will showcase their innovations. The event, starting on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT, offers attendees the chance to discover early-stage companies and network with founders, investors, and tech leaders.
The significance of Disrupt lies in its long-standing tradition of highlighting ambitious startups, particularly through the Startup Battlefield 200 competition, where 20 finalists will compete for a $100,000 prize. Attendees can also explore over 300 startups in the Expo Hall and participate in 200+ sessions led by industry experts, covering various topics including AI, fundraising, and scaling.
As the event approaches, potential attendees are encouraged to take advantage of pass savings of up to $100 and discounts for group registrations. For those recently affected by layoffs, an Expo+ Pass is available for just $75, ensuring access to valuable opportunities at Disrupt.
