Less Than 24 Hours to Apply for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Events

The application window for hosting Side Events at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is closing in less than 24 hours, with the deadline set for tonight at midnight PT. This program offers a unique opportunity for founders, investors, and tech leaders to engage with the Silicon Valley community during the week of October 10–16 in San Francisco. Side Events serve as a vital networking extension of the main conference, which attracts over 10,000 participants. Approved hosts can organize meetups, happy hours, panels, or workshops to increase their brand reach. While TechCrunch reviews all applications for inclusion in the official program, organizers are responsible for all logistics and associated costs. For those not hosting an event, tickets for the conference are currently available with discounts of up to $200. This early-bird pricing is set to expire on September 25, ahead of the highly anticipated gathering of global tech leaders in the Bay Area.
