Last Chance to Apply for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Events

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is offering a final opportunity for organizations and individuals to apply to host Side Events during its conference week, running from October 10 to 16. Applications must be submitted by midnight Pacific Time today. Hosting a Side Event allows participants to connect with thousands of founders, investors, and tech leaders attending the event in San Francisco. These events can take various forms, such as meetups, panels, workshops, or social gatherings, providing a platform to engage the tech community beyond the main conference sessions. Approved Side Events receive exposure through TechCrunch’s official channels, including the event website, mobile app, attendee communications, and social media. Additionally, hosts can offer their network a 25% discount on Disrupt tickets. While applying does not guarantee acceptance, all proposals are reviewed by the TechCrunch events team. Hosts are responsible for organizing and funding their events. For those interested in participating without hosting, discounted tickets are available until September 25. This deadline marks a critical moment for those looking to increase their visibility and influence at one of the tech industry's key annual gatherings.
