A neutral summary of TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Side Events schedule: NMI, Backblaze, PeakXV Partners, Augment, and more to host, published by TechCrunch. Summarised for the Ceeve reading list; the original reporting is TechCrunch's.

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will take place October 13-15 at Moscone West, with supplementary side events running throughout San Francisco before, during, and after the main conference. Events include panels, workshops, networking mixers, and parties hosted by technology companies and other organisations. Hosts include NMI, Backblaze, PeakXV Partners, Augment, and others, with new events being added weekly in the lead-up to Disrupt.

The side event schedule spans October 11-15 and covers topics ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to payments, private markets, and hardtech. Notable events include a happy hour featuring AI bartenders, pitch competitions, mixers focused on specific regions or communities, and afterparties with live music and art installations. Most events are 18 or older, with some restricted to guests 21 and older; individual hosts set their own admission requirements and capacity limits.

Side events are independently operated by their listed hosts and separate from the main Disrupt conference; attendees require a valid pass or badge to access the main event. RSVPs are required for most events and do not guarantee entry if capacity is reached. Job seekers exploring the tech sector may find these networking opportunities relevant when researching roles via tools like Ceeve, which helps tailor applications to specific positions.
