TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is scheduled for October 13–15 in downtown San Francisco and will gather founders, investors, and technology leaders to discuss AI developments and startup strategies.

Organizers said the event’s agenda incorporates AI across multiple stages, with sessions featuring representatives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Amazon, Replit, Databricks, and other companies. Three of the six stages will focus on AI systems, infrastructure, and real‑world impact.

The program includes the Startup Battlefield competition, which showcases emerging startups, and the Builders Stage, intended to provide founder development resources.

Networking opportunities are built into the event through the Deal Flow Café, expo hall interactions, and an updated mobile app that uses AI to suggest connections between founders and investors.

Attendees can register for a Founder Pass using the promo code Founder15, which provides a 15 percent discount on the ticket price.

Registration details and further information are available on the TechCrunch website.
