Organizers say satellite gatherings around the main conference will extend networking and discussion beyond the Moscone West expo floor.

TechCrunch has announced a schedule of side events accompanying TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, according to the publication. The main conference will take place at Moscone West in San Francisco from October 13 to 15, TechCrunch reported.
According to TechCrunch, the side events are designed to continue conversations among attendees after the official Expo Hall hours end each day. The outlet said companies including NMI, Backblaze, PeakXV Partners and Augment are among those confirmed to host events tied to the conference.
TechCrunch described Disrupt as a gathering where members of the technology community come together to build, debate and connect, noting that the broader schedule of side events is intended to complement the main program at Moscone West.
The report did not provide additional details on the specific dates, locations or formats of each individual side event, nor a complete list of all hosts beyond those named.
