TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is coming to San Francisco on October 10-16. The conference is inviting brands to host "Side Events" — independent gatherings during the conference schedule.
Over 10,000 innovators, founders, VCs, and industry figures will attend. The events draw significant networking traffic and industry attention.
Brands can host industry roundtables, VC office hours, workshops, happy hours, or dinners. The format is entirely yours to design.
Evening events scheduled for October 13-15 tend to draw better attendance. Fewer competing events mean deeper conversations and a more focused audience.
The submission deadline is September 4. There is no cost to apply or participate. TechCrunch's events team handles logistics.
Disrupt attracts VCs actively seeking founders and companies actively seeking capital. Side Events provide direct access to these decision-makers.
Applications are open now.
