The Disrupt Side Events program invites founders, venture capitalists, and industry innovators to host custom gatherings between October 10 and 16. Approved events receive official promotion through the conference’s marketing channels and calendar, providing a platform to engage directly with attendees. While the format is flexible—ranging from industry roundtables and workshops to networking happy hours—organizers suggest scheduling events during the evenings of October 13-15 to capture post-conference momentum.

Hosting a Side Event at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
With TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 returning to San Francisco this October, organizers are opening the window for companies and community builders to host independent side events. Applications for the program close on September 4, offering participants a chance to reach an audience of over 10,000 tech leaders and investors.
Applicants must secure a venue within the Bay Area and provide a clear vision for their session. Participation is free, but the organizers prioritize events that deliver value to the startup ecosystem. Interested hosts should review the official host guide and submit their proposals through the TechCrunch portal before the September 4 deadline.
