TechCrunch has issued a reminder that the discounted early pricing window for its TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 conference closes on Friday, 21 August at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that deadline, attendees will no longer be able to save up to $300 on individual passes or access larger group-rate discounts, meaning the promotion is primarily a call to action for prospective attendees to register before prices rise.

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will take place from 13 to 15 October at Moscone West in San Francisco, bringing together more than 10,000 founders, investors and startup community members. This year's event introduces three new programming stages focused on the AI era: Real World AI, Smart Money and Smart Systems, alongside the returning Disrupt, AI and Builders stages. Confirmed speakers include Rivian chief executive RJ Scaringe, Amazon's Panos Panay, and Bluesky's Toni Schneider and Rose Wang.
