Blackstone's Jas Khaira to Discuss Building the Next Generation of AI Giants at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Jas Khaira of Blackstone is set to appear on the Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, where he will discuss the challenge of building the next generation of major artificial intelligence companies.

The session forms part of the broader programming at TechCrunch Disrupt, an annual conference that brings together founders, investors, and industry figures to discuss trends and developments across the technology sector, with artificial intelligence remaining a dominant theme in recent editions of the event.

As a representative of Blackstone, one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, Khaira's appearance reflects the growing role that major investment firms are playing in financing and shaping the AI industry, alongside more traditional venture capital players.

Attendees at this year's conference will have the opportunity to register for passes to the event, with organizers offering a discount for those purchasing a second pass alongside their own.

Further details about the specific topics to be covered during the Builders Stage session, including any additional speakers or case studies, are expected to be announced closer to the date of the conference.
