Startups aiming to stand out at Disrupt 2026 have just one last opportunity: exhibit table bookings end on Friday, October 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. After that, the Expo Hall doors close—no more tables will be available.
Why Exhibit at Disrupt?
The event runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, uniting more than 10,000 founders, investors, and tech leaders. For early-stage companies, getting a spot in the Expo Hall means exposure to key decision-makers, potential funding opportunities, and the chance to demo innovations where people are actively seeking the next big thing.
The exhibit package includes: a branded 6′ × 30″ table for all three days; 10 team passes; tools to generate leads; branding on the event website and mobile app; access to press contacts; and Silver Tier sponsor visibility. Also, if you reserve by September 30, you get onsite branding added in. Founders who exhibit can also participate in the Deal Flow Café events—dedicated spaces for meeting investors.
What’s Still Packed Into Disrupt Even If You Don’t Exhibit
Even without an exhibit, Disrupt 2026 offers content for everyone in the startup ecosystem: over 250 tech leaders will speak across 200+ sessions on six industry stages, roundtables, and breakout discussions. Attendees can use AI-powered matchmaking and interactive sessions to forge meaningful connections.
On the Expo floor, expect to discover more than 300 startups and follow Startup Battlefield 200—a platform where companies pitch for visibility, partnerships, and investment. Whether you’re looking for customers, collaborators, or funding, there’s value both in exhibiting and in just being in the room.
The final window to grab an exhibit table closes October 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Tables are limited and allocated first-come, first-served. If you’ve been considering whether to take the plunge, now’s the time.
What this means:Disrupt remains one of the most important annual gatherings for startup visibility and investor access. With fewer chances to exhibit, competition tightens and the opportunity for exposure becomes more premium. If I were advising a founder, I’d say exhibit table spots often deliver returns far beyond their cost—both in connections made and momentum built. Watching which startups land these tables often signals who’s positioning well for funding rounds, press attention, or strategic partnerships in the coming year.
