Less than 24 hours to apply for your TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Event
techcrunch ·
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is accepting applications for side events until midnight PT tonight, giving applicants less than 24 hours to apply. Approved side events can take place during the broader Disrupt week from October 10–16, allowing hosts to connect with the Silicon Valley tech community. Hosting an approved event provides benefits such as placement on the official side events page, agenda, mobile app, attendee emails, a TechCrunch article, social channels, and a 25% ticket discount to share. However, applying does not guarantee acceptance, and all events must be approved by the TechCrunch events team, with logistics and costs managed by the host. The conference itself runs October 13–15 in San Francisco and is expected to draw over 10,000 tech leaders. Those who do not wish to host can still attend with up to $200 off tickets before prices rise on September 25.
