In just three days' time, TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will kick off in San Francisco's Moscone West, bringing together hundreds of startups showcasing their latest innovations and thousands of founders, investors, and tech leaders.

The countdown is on for pass savings of up to $100, which can be secured now before the event doors open on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. Early bird discounts are available for attendees who purchase passes in advance, with additional savings available for groups registering multiple tickets.

A key highlight of this year's Disrupt is Startup Battlefield 200, where 20 handpicked early-stage startups will compete for the coveted $100,000 prize and the prestigious Disrupt Cup on the main stage.

The Expo Hall will play host to over 300 startups at various stages of development across different sectors, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to engage directly with founders and discover innovative products, investment opportunities, or ideas that may have flown under their radar.

As the event approaches, registrations are pouring in, with thousands expected to converge on Moscone West to explore the latest trends and innovations in the tech industry.

The event's programming is designed to cater to diverse interests, offering a wide range of sessions led by tech leaders across six stages. These sessions cover various topics, including AI, product development, go-to-market strategies, fundraising, finance, infrastructure, and scaling. Attendees can engage with the speakers through question-and-answer sessions, spark new connections, and gain insights into industry trends before they become mainstream.

With just three days left to secure tickets, attendees can take advantage of discounts on passes. The event is offering up to $100 off individual passes, as well as 50% off a second pass of the same type. This promotion applies to Expo+ Passes, which provide access to opportunities at Disrupt for a reduced fee.

For those who have been affected by recent layoffs, the Expo+ Pass offers an affordable way to participate in the event. Priced at $75, this pass allows individuals to connect with other attendees and engage with the startup ecosystem without incurring significant costs. Group discounts are also available for attendees bringing colleagues or friends along.

Attendees can explore additional savings by purchasing passes through links provided in articles. While doing so may generate a small commission for the organizers, it does not influence the editorial content of the event's programming. The event takes place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco.

The annual TechCrunch Disrupt conference is just around the corner, taking place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. This highly anticipated event will showcase cutting-edge startups and innovations that are poised to disrupt various industries.
