The first day of TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is over, but the show is far from done. The event runs at San Francisco’s Moscone West on October 14 and 15, and TechCrunch is cutting ticket prices in half for the last two days.
That means 50% off every ticket type now on offer. Founder Pass is $550, Attendee Pass is $525, Investor Pass is $600. There are also lower-priced options for non-profits at $250, students at $200, and Expo+ at $175.
The pitch is simple: there’s still a lot left to see. On the Disrupt Stage, the remaining lineup includes Mark Wahlberg, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, all five Benchmark partners together, Amazon’s Panos Panay, and Bluesky CEO and COO Toni Schneider and Rose Wang. That’s a crowded enough bill to make the discount feel less like a promo and more like an apology for anyone who arrived late.
And the AI programming is still a draw on its own. Two flagship AI Stages are set to feature OpenAI Head of Enterprise Product Alexander Embiricos discussing the launch of Dots agents, alongside leaders from Anthropic, Hugging Face, Clay, and others. Add 320-plus exhibitors, breakouts, roundtables, networking, Side Events across San Francisco, and the Startup Battlefield 200 still running on the Disrupt Stage, and the last stretch of the event looks packed.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is classic conference economics: make the latecomer feel smart for waiting, then sell them urgency by the hour. The real tell is that the strongest pitch isn’t the discount — it’s the fear of missing the good names while everyone else is already inside. That’s how these events keep working, and somehow it still feels like a bargain when the room is full of founders chasing warm handshakes.
