Get all your questions answered at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: The full breakout session agenda revealed

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 lands at Moscone West in San Francisco on October 13-15, bringing together 10,000+ founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders for three days of ideas, connections, and conversations about what’s coming next. Register now, save up to $100 off your pass, and get a second at 50% off.

Some of the most practical conversations won’t happen on any of the industry stages. Disrupt’s breakout sessions are built to go deeper and give you the mic to ask your burning questions to the leaders. Each 50-minute session combines expert insight with audience Q&A, giving you more room to unpack a problem, challenge assumptions, and leave with ideas you can actually put to work. The room capacity is limited, and attendance is first come, first served.

This year’s lineup gets into the questions founders and operators are dealing with right now: How do you build with AI agents? Where will value accrue as AI shifts from training to inference? What does physical AI really mean? How do you run a better fundraiser? And how does AI change the way you grow companies and teams?

Get into the room, get your questions answered, and make the connections that’ll spark your next move in the ecosystem. Save up to $100 on your pass and 50% on a second. Bring a group of four-plus to save more and get more insights. If you’ve recently been laid off, get a $75 Expo+ Pass before they run out.
