Why Startups Must Exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will convene more than 10,000 founders, investors and operators at San Francisco’s Moscone West from Oct. 13‑15. The Expo Hall sits at the event’s core, where deal flow ignites and new products surface. Startup leaders who need immediate visibility are urged to secure a table before the limited inventory disappears.

For a flat fee of $12,500, exhibitors receive a branded 6‑foot table, signage, seating and five all‑access passes that let teams roam the conference, not stay confined. The package also bundles lead‑capture tools via the Disrupt app, placement on TechCrunch’s website and app, and a Silver Tier sponsor badge that appears in event communications. Brand exposure includes printed badges and sponsor lounges.

Companies launching or relaunching products, seeking funding or rapid pipeline growth find the density of 20,000‑plus curated meetings and 300+ showcasing startups compress months of outreach into a weekend. With tables allocated on a first‑come, first‑served basis and the deadline set for Sept. 25, firms missing the deadline lose a conduit to the decision‑makers at Disrupt. Early registrants report follow‑up meetings within weeks of the show.
