How to showcase your startup at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

How to showcase your startup at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

You can showcase your startup at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 by booking an exhibit table in the Expo Hall at San Francisco's Moscone West, October 13–15. Packages start at $12,500 and include signage, ten team passes, mobile-app lead capture, and press-list access. Tables are limited—reserve before September 25 or when the last table sells out.

TechCrunch says you do not need a keynote to make noise at Disrupt. Exhibiting on the floor puts founders directly in front of investors, customers, and partners during one of the year's highest-traffic startup gatherings.

Key Takeaways

What does a TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 exhibit table include?

According to TechCrunch, each package centers on a 6-foot by 30-inch table in the Expo Hall—the most heavily trafficked area of the event. Organizers supply the table, linen, chairs, and signage so teams can focus on demos and conversations rather than logistics.

Every booking also comes with ten Disrupt passes: five all-access Exhibitor-Partner passes and five Expo+ passes. TechCrunch values those passes at nearly $4,000 on their own. Exhibitors also get lead generation through the Disrupt 2026 mobile app, plus access to the event press list and Silver Tier sponsor branding across the site, app, and on-site signage.

Why exhibit on the floor instead of just attending?

The Exhibit Program is pitched as the fastest, lowest-lift way for startups at any stage to reach the room that matters. That room includes investors sourcing deals, operators evaluating tools, and founders scouting partners.

TechCrunch notes that exhibiting lets your whole team work the floor—not just staff a single booth slot. With ten included passes, founders can split outreach, demos, and follow-ups across a larger group during the three-day window.

How much does it cost to showcase at Disrupt 2026?

Exhibit tables start at $12,500. When you factor in the included passes, furniture, lead-capture tools, and branding perks, TechCrunch argues the return on visibility can justify the price for teams actively raising or selling.

If exhibiting is not in this year's budget, Disrupt is also promoting a limited-time $300 discount on general admission tickets—a separate offer from the exhibit program but useful for teams planning a presence next year.

When does the exhibit table offer close?

There is one catch: tables are limited. The offer ends when the last exhibit table sells out or on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT—whichever happens first. Startups interested in securing a spot should book through TechCrunch's official exhibit registration page before that deadline passes.
