3 days to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: Meet the startups before they hit mainstream

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 runs October 13-15 in San Francisco, bringing more than 300 startups in front of 10,000 tech leaders. The event will also feature 250+ speakers across 200+ sessions, with late registration discounts still available.

The lineup underscores how major startup conferences remain key launchpads for early-stage companies seeking visibility, investors, and partnerships. The heavy programming around speakers and sessions suggests demand is still strong for in-person startup networking despite a more distributed tech ecosystem.
