TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Early Bird Deals End Soon

Tech enthusiasts, startup founders, and investors only have a few days left to grab discounted tickets for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 before prices increase.

Organizers confirmed that Early Bird savings for the major tech conference will officially end on May 29 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Attendees can currently save up to $410 on passes, but rates will rise once the deadline expires.

The annual event will take place from October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco and is expected to attract more than 10,000 founders, investors, entrepreneurs, operators, and technology leaders from around the world.

TechCrunch Disrupt has built a reputation as one of the biggest networking and startup-focused gatherings in the tech industry. The event is designed to connect startups with investors, create partnership opportunities, and showcase emerging technologies before they become mainstream.

This year’s conference will feature more than 250 speakers across over 200 sessions, including industry stages, breakout discussions, and interactive roundtables. Organizers say attendees can expect practical insights from startup founders, venture capital firms, and operators currently shaping the tech market.

One of the main highlights returning in 2026 is Startup Battlefield 200, where promising startups compete for a $100,000 equity-free prize. Founders still have time to apply or nominate their startups for the competition.

The event will also include an Expo Hall featuring more than 300 startups presenting new products and innovations. In addition, attendees can participate in curated networking opportunities, including one-on-one meetings and small-group matchmaking sessions designed to connect founders with investors, customers, and strategic partners.

According to organizers, more than 20,000 networking connections are expected to happen throughout the conference. Over 80 side events are also planned across the Bay Area during Disrupt week.

Special pass options are available for both founders and investors. Founder Pass holders will get access to networking tools, investor connections, and startup growth resources. Investor Pass holders, meanwhile, can meet emerging startups and explore potential investment opportunities more efficiently through tailored networking features.

With the Early Bird deadline approaching quickly, organizers are encouraging attendees to secure their tickets before prices increase later this week.
