TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: How to Secure Your Exhibit Table

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is opening its exhibitor registration, offering startups a direct path to engage with over 10,000 industry decision-makers. The event, centered on the Expo Hall, serves as a high-traffic hub for founders looking to secure funding, build strategic partnerships, and accelerate product adoption.

Why the Expo Hall remains a strategic priority

Unlike passive networking environments, the Disrupt floor is designed for high-intent interactions. Investors and operators attend specifically to identify new tools, vet potential investments, and source talent. For startups, maintaining a presence in this space transforms months of outreach into days of face-to-face meetings.

The event facilitates a high-density environment featuring:

• More than 20,000 curated meetings.
• Over 300 active startups showcasing solutions.
• Thousands of decision-makers actively seeking new partners.

Inside the $12,500 exhibitor package

For a $12,500 investment, companies receive a comprehensive package designed for maximum visibility over the three-day event. The core offering includes a fully branded 6’ table, signage, and seating located in the Expo Hall.

The package also provides:

• Five all-access Exhibitor–Partner passes and five Expo+ passes.
• Advanced lead capture tools via the official Disrupt mobile app.
• Access to the TechCrunch press list and Silver Tier sponsor designation.
• Inclusion in select editorial coverage and closing ceremony acknowledgments.

Strategic value for startups

Companies at various stages of growth utilize the program to launch products, generate leads, and amplify their brand narrative through media exposure. By positioning a team directly in the path of investors and potential clients, startups can compress sales and fundraising cycles that would otherwise take months to initiate.

Registration and deadlines

Space in the Expo Hall is strictly limited, and the organizers have confirmed there will be no extensions once inventory is exhausted. Availability is managed on a first-come, first-served basis, with a final cutoff date of September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Startups interested in securing a spot can view full program details and reserve their space through the official Disrupt exhibitor portal. Given the limited inventory, early registration is recommended to ensure placement in the primary Expo Hall traffic zones.
