The 2026 side events program prioritizes localized, industry-specific engagement. KOTRA and WayFounder are anchoring the international presence with dedicated networking nights for Korean startups, while Enterprise Ireland brings its 'Irish Shark Tank' to Ireland House. These gatherings offer a crucial alternative for those seeking intimacy away from the massive crowds of the main conference floor.
Beyond traditional mixers, the schedule leans into diverse formats. Attendees can participate in a SQLDoom deathmatch hosted by CedarDB, experience voice-restoration technology demonstrations by Uhura Bionics, or join a waterfront founder run organized by Handler. Security and AI infrastructure take center stage at the 'Vault & Verify' event by Descope, while more relaxed settings like the Omelo 'Pets of Disrupt' mixer provide a human-centric break from the typical tech-conference intensity. With new events added weekly, the program has evolved into a sprawling ecosystem that effectively turns San Francisco into an extension of the Disrupt show floor.
