TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, and the expo hall is filling fast. The deadline to book an exhibit table is Friday, September 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT, which means the clock is running out for startups that want to put their product in front of VCs and high-value leads.
The Deadline
The pitch is simple: 10,000+ founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders will be at the event, and the expo hall is the place to meet them. A 6′ × 30″ exhibit table comes with 10 team passes, website and app branding, press-list access, and Silver Tier sponsor branding. The package also includes access to the Deal Flow Café and Investor-to-Founder Networking for founders.
“Demo your product to investors and partners.”
That line is the whole argument. The table sits in the highest-traffic area of Disrupt for three days, and the Disrupt mobile app captures leads directly from attendees.
What You Get
The table itself is the anchor. The package adds branded presence online and off, plus the networking events that sit outside the main floor.

The Numbers
The event draws 10,000+ attendees across three days. That number is the clearest measure of how many people walk past your booth.
Why the Deadline Matters
Friday, September 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT is the cutoff. For a startup chasing VCs, the timing works: the event happens in mid-October, and the booking window closes at the end of this month.
Not Exhibiting
There is a separate path for attendees who are not showing a booth. The conference offers 250+ top-tier tech leaders across 200+ sessions on six industry stages, plus interactive sessions and AI-powered matchmaking to connect with other attendees.
Tickets save up to $200 before prices increase on September 25. The expo hall is not the only way to get in front of the crowd.
The Conference
The conference runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The expo hall doors close to new bookings on September 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
The pitch is honest about what it sells — visibility, leads, and introductions — and it is clear about the price. Whether the 10,000+ figure fully justifies the cost is a judgment each founder has to make for themselves.
