TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 unveils full breakout agenda
TechCrunch has released the full breakout session agenda for Disrupt 2026, its annual startup conference taking place October 13-15 in San Francisco.
The agenda appears to align with a broader repositioning of Disrupt, which was previously described as centering on how to build enduring companies in the AI era. Past coverage has mentioned high-profile speakers and investor-focused sessions, though the exact connections to this year’s agenda remain unclear.
One notable session will feature Andrew Feldman, CEO of AI chipmaker Cerebras Systems, discussing whether AI’s exponential growth can continue unchecked. The topic may reflect ongoing industry discussions about the sustainability of AI development.
The Startup Battlefield 200, Disrupt’s pitch competition, remains a key feature, with judges announced last month. The event’s focus on scaling challenges could suggest an effort to address practical concerns for startups, particularly in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. Registration discounts end soon, which may indicate strong interest in these themes.
