TechCrunch has extended the registration deadline for exhibit tables at its Disrupt 2026 conference to October 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The event is scheduled to take place October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
Why it matters
Securing an exhibit spot allows businesses to engage directly with over 10,000 anticipated attendees, including founders, investors, and industry leaders. Companies seeking to leverage on-site branding must complete their bookings even earlier, by September 30.
The conference expects over 10,000 attendees and more than 300 startups, with each exhibit package providing a 6' by 30'' table and 10 team passes. Tables are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Market Landscape
This extension mirrors broader industry trends where organizers optimize attendee volume at established hubs like Moscone West. It follows standard industry practice for scaling exhibition capacity in the final weeks before major tech gatherings.
Businesses interested in high-density lead generation should finalize their table purchase before the October 2 deadline. Because space is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, earlier booking remains the only way to guarantee placement.
The takeaway
The late extension offers a final opportunity for startups to secure exhibition space at a major industry gathering. Operators should audit their team travel budgets and marketing schedules immediately to determine if the 10-person pass allocation aligns with their event objectives.
