The absolute last chance to apply to host an official side event during TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is tonight, September 11th at 11:59pm PT.
There are no further extensions. No more chances.
It’s not just about bringing people together. Create value.
When you bring your community to Disrupt, you can’t just give them another place to gather. Give them a reason to attend, and give your organization a reason to host, too.
Side events can help you:
Turn connections into opportunities
Put your team directly in touch with the founders, investors, customers, partners, and other decision makers who can enable your next deal, partnership, investment, hire, or collaboration.
build deeper relationships
Generate difficult conversations on crowded conference floors and deepen relationships with the people most relevant to your business.
Put your brand front and center
Give your brand a meaningful role within the Disrupt ecosystem by leading the conversation around topics your audience cares about.
We create opportunities for members to meet new people, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections while integrating existing networks.
Extend your reach beyond your guest list
Approved Side Events may be promoted through TechCrunch’s Side Events page, Disrupt Agenda, mobile app, newsletters, articles, and social channels.
Make it easier for your network to participate in Disrupt
Give your community 25% off Disrupt tickets and make your side event part of a larger experience rather than a separate gathering.
this is the last shot
The opportunity is bigger than hosting a party or meetup. Use Disrupt Week to build relationships, create opportunities, strengthen your brand, and put your organization at the center of the conversation to shape what’s next.
Entries close tonight at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
This is the final deadline. There are no further extensions.
To join the official side event lineup, please submit your application by midnight.
It’s not just about attending Disrupt. Make something happen around it.
Not hosting? You can still be a part of Disrupt

Regular pricing ends September 25th. Get your tickets before prices go up and ensure you’re participating in the people, ideas, and opportunities that will shape what’s next.
