What you get with TechCrunch Disrupt
Held from October 13th to 15th at Moscone West, more than 10,000 founders, executives, and venture capitalists will gather for three days of lively conversation and deals. Disruption is more than just content. It’s access.
What you get:
Tactical insights from operators who are actively building in today’s market. Direct conversations with investors who write checks. Gain exposure to emerging startups before the rest of the market catches up. Curated networking designed to produce real results.
Last year alone, more than 20,000 select conferences were held. In 2026, upgraded networking tools will make these connections even more targeted and efficient. Just one conversation can change your trajectory. At Disrupt, that’s the point.
Learn from builders and VCs who have formed the ecosystem
Disruption has long been the setting for era-defining founders and investors. These are the kinds of voices that are on stage for disruption. Candid, tactical, and often unfiltered. Previous speakers have included leaders from category-defining startups and top venture companies.
Disrupt 2025 featured more than 200 on-stage conversations with more than 250 leaders shaping AI, venture capital, hardware, growth strategy, and more. We can expect the same level of insight in 2026. Keep an eye on the event page as the agenda unfolds.
