TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: The unofficial guide to San Francisco side events

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: The unofficial guide to San Francisco side events

The 2026 program features a diverse mix of industry-led gatherings. Among the highlights, NMI is hosting a SaaS-focused mixer at SPIN San Francisco, while Backblaze and Flamethrower team up for the 'Afterburn' mixer. Peak XV Partners, Augment, and Mintz are also anchoring the evening schedule, providing spaces for founders and investors to connect without the pressure of formal stage pitches.

Events run from October 11 through October 15, covering niche topics ranging from token economics and physical AI to international startup showcases. Attendees should note that these side events are independently operated and require separate registrations. Access to these functions does not grant entry to the main Disrupt conference, and individual hosts maintain their own capacity limits and age restrictions. With the schedule continuing to evolve, organizers recommend monitoring the official chronological listings for real-time updates on venues and registration requirements.
