3 days left to save up to $200 and make impactful connections at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

TechCrunch is urging potential attendees to register before September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT to secure promotional savings on passes for Disrupt 2026. The event, scheduled for October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, expects more than 10,000 participants from across the startup ecosystem.

Organizers highlight networking as a central draw, saying the conference gathers founders, investors and operators in one place and provides tools to make introductions more productive. Registered attendees can schedule one-on-one meetings using the TechCrunch Events app, which includes AI-powered matchmaking, and can make use of a dedicated Networking Lounge that will be open throughout the three days.

Beyond scheduled meetings, TechCrunch points to industry meetups, roundtable sessions and informal encounters on the show floor as ways attendees can connect. The event copy emphasizes that short conversations at conferences can reveal more about potential partners, hires or investors than prolonged online research.

Ticket promotions include savings of up to $200 on passes, a second ticket at 50% off the same type, and group discounts of up to 30% for parties of four or more. TechCrunch notes that purchases made through article links may generate a small commission for the publisher.
