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

While the main TechCrunch Disrupt conference occupies Moscone West from October 13 to 15, the real networking often happens after the Expo Hall doors close. A sprawling, independent schedule of mixers, parties, and workshops has emerged across San Francisco, turning the week into a city-wide marathon of startup deal-making.

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.
