TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will host the AI Stage from October 13–15 in San Francisco, bringing together leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks, and other companies to address the most pressing enterprise AI challenges.
The event will explore how AI is reshaping business models, security frameworks, and job categories, including sessions on pricing commoditized AI products, rebuilding agent security from the ground up, and the rise of AI-native go-to-market strategies. Anthropic’s Head of Applied AI, Cat de Jong, will discuss real-world enterprise deployments of Claude, while OpenAI’s Tara Seshan will examine the emergence of AI-native GTM engineering.
Security remains a critical focus, with Databricks and AWS executives detailing the infrastructure-level changes required to secure autonomous AI systems. Additional sessions will cover the evolution of visual AI, the future of SaaS pricing, and the rapid growth of the GTM engineer role—a category that didn’t exist two years ago.
Registration for Disrupt 2026 is open, with discounts available until the pricing window closes.
