Hosting a side event offers a direct channel to the ecosystem surrounding the Disrupt conference, which runs from October 10 through October 16. Organizers can curate meetups, cocktail hours, workshops, or panels to engage the broader tech community before, during, or after the main event. Approved events receive amplified visibility via the official TechCrunch agenda, mobile app, and dedicated attendee communications, alongside a 25% discount code for organizers to share with their networks.

Deadline Looms for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Event Proposals
Midnight Pacific Time marks the final opportunity for organizers to submit proposals for official Side Events during TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. With the conference drawing thousands of founders and investors to San Francisco this October, the clock is ticking for brands aiming to secure a spot in the official programming.

While the application window closes tonight, submission does not guarantee inclusion. The TechCrunch events team reviews every proposal, and approved hosts remain responsible for all logistical planning and associated costs. For those not hosting, standard registration remains open with a discount available until September 25 before ticket prices increase.
