The last chance to secure a spot as an exhibitor at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is fast approaching. Startups have until 11:59 p.m. PT on September 18 to reserve an exhibit table for the conference, happening October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. This deadline gives teams just five days to act.
Why Exhibit at Disrupt?
Disrupt 2026 expects over 10,000 attendees, including founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders, converging for three days of networking, dealmaking, and product discovery. The event offers a high-footfall platform where startups can engage with potential customers, investors, partners, and talent.
Exhibitors receive a branded 6′ × 30″ table in the Expo Hall for all three days, giving them a physical space to showcase their product demos and engage directly with interested prospects. The package also includes:
- Lead generation tools via the Disrupt app for capturing contacts and post-event follow-up
- 10 team passes to staff the booth and attend the event fully
- Branding across the event’s digital platforms, at the venue, and in signage
- Access to the Disrupt press list
- Company profile placement in the event website and mobile app
- Recognition as a Silver Tier sponsor, plus additional visibility at the event
Other Ways to Take Part
If a full exhibit isn’t feasible, there are still opportunities to join Disrupt. Attendees will have access to over 300 startups showcasing across industries in the Expo Hall, six industry-specific stages, robust networking powered by AI matchmaking, and the Startup Battlefield 200 competition.
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 promises a curated environment where innovation meets connection. The expo floor is tailored to foster relationships between startups and the broader tech ecosystem.
Key Dates:
– Exhibitor deadline: September 18, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT
– Event dates: October 13–15, 2026
– Location: Moscone West, San Francisco
This is one of the final calls for startups aiming to get face-to-face exposure in a major tech gathering—don’t let the moment pass.
What this means: Joining Disrupt through an expo table isn’t just about being seen—it’s about maximizing real-world connections that can turn into funding, partnerships, or new business. Startups should weigh the cost of the table against the potential returns: the press access, branding, and exposure alone make this an investment worth strong consideration. For those still on the fence, there’s still visibility through other parts of the conference—but only exhibitors will get full access to the perks built into the package. Watch closely how the expo hall fills up this week—it’ll give insights into startup trends and which industries are doubling down on in-person presence in late 2026.
