TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is 48 hours away in San Francisco

In less than 48 hours, the doors will officially open for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 at San Francisco’s Moscone West venue. As anticipation reaches its peak, organizers remind prospective attendees that they can still secure tickets with potential savings before prices increase at the door. The event promises a massive gathering of professionals looking to shape the future of technology.

From October 13 to 15, more than 10,000 founders, investors, and tech leaders are expected to converge in San Francisco to make vital connections. The scale of the conference reflects the growing momentum within the global technology sector, drawing individuals eager to change their professional trajectory through networking and collaboration.

The core of the conference program features more than 250 speakers taking the stage across 200 distinct sessions, roundtables, and breakouts. These discussions span six stages and cover critical topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, infrastructure, investment, startup growth, fintech, climate technology, and the complex realities of building products at scale.

Attendees will hear directly from prominent industry figures and innovators. Notable speakers scheduled for the event include RJ Scaringe of Rivian, actor and entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg, Alexa von Tobel of Inspired Capital, Andrew Feldman of Cerebras Systems, Cat de Jong of Anthropic, and Les Karpas of NVIDIA, among many others.

Beyond the keynote conversations and panel discussions, the bustling Expo Hall offers a dedicated space for discovery. Visitors can interact directly with the companies behind tomorrow's breakthroughs and see how big ideas are being transformed into viable commercial products and growing businesses.

A major highlight within the exhibition space is the presence of the Startup Battlefield 200. This hand-picked group of early-stage companies represents some of the most promising new ventures in the ecosystem, all competing for attention and validation during the multi-day event.

TechCrunch Disrupt is designed to offer flexibility, allowing participants to tailor their experience by balancing high-level conference sessions with hands-on exploration in the Expo Hall. With rates set to increase on October 13, attendees are encouraged to finalize their registration and secure their passes to avoid door pricing.
