The application window for official Side Events at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 closes tonight at midnight Pacific Time.
The conference runs Oct. 10-16 in San Francisco and draws thousands of founders, investors and technology leaders. Side Events let companies host branded gatherings—ranging from networking happy hours to panel discussions and workshops—before, during and after the main conference.
Host organizations bear all planning, logistics and costs. Acceptance is not guaranteed; submissions must align with conference objectives to be included in the official program.
Conference tickets are available with discounts of up to $200, though rates increase after Sept. 25. For Side Event applications, companies can contact side.events.com.
