What happened
TechCrunch is accepting applications through September 4 to host Side Events around Disrupt 2026, which runs October 13-15 in San Francisco with 10,000+ expected attendees. Approved side events can be scheduled October 10-16 and get promoted to Disrupt attendees via official channels.
Why it matters
Founders planning to attend Disrupt 2026 could apply to host a side event by September 4 to get free promotion to 10,000+ attendees, but this is a marketing announcement with no technical or strategic takeaway for builders not attending.
Discussion angle
Whether hosting a side event at a major US tech conference is worth the logistics cost for Malaysian founders looking to build international investor relationships
