TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is approaching, and with it comes the opportunity to host a Side Event. From October 10-16, innovators, founders, investors, and industry leaders will gather in San Francisco. Hosting a Side Event allows you to engage directly with thousands of sharp minds in tech, build authentic relationships, and own your narrative.
Side Events can take any format, including industry roundtables, VC office hours, workshops, and networking happy hours. The goal is to bring energy and align with your vision. Evening events on October 13-15 are highly encouraged due to fewer competing events and a more undivided audience.
To host a Side Event, submit your proposal by September 4, outlining your vision, goals, and logistical needs. The TechCrunch team will handle the rest, providing full support and exposure at no cost to apply or participate.
