The Side Events program allows companies, investors, and community builders to host custom sessions between October 10 and October 16. Approved gatherings receive promotion through official Disrupt marketing channels and the event's public calendar. Past iterations have included everything from intimate networking dinners and industry roundtables to technical workshops and venture capital office hours.

Deadline Approaching for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Events
With the window closing this Friday, September 4, at midnight PT, organizers are calling for final applications for independent gatherings surrounding the TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 conference. The event, scheduled for October 13-15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, serves as the anchor for a week of satellite programming.
Applicants must secure a venue within the Bay Area and provide a clear description of their event's goals before submitting their request. There is no cost to apply or participate, though organizers prioritize proposals that offer tangible value to the founder and investor ecosystem. Those interested in hosting should review the official Host Guide and submit their vision via the portal before the Friday deadline.
