Many of those events come through the official Disrupt Side Events. If you have a good idea for a theme and a place to host, you’re well on your way toward applying to host one. At the end of the day, this is your event, running under the Disrupt banner. TechCrunch will spread word about the event through our Side Events page, agenda, app, attendee emails, and site coverage. And regardless of whether you’re hosting, we’re excited to see you at Disrupt 2026.
