Reason No. 3: Connections.

The right introduction can change what happens next for a company. It might lead to your next investor. A customer you’ve been trying to reach. A future hire. A technology partner. Or simply someone solving a problem close enough to yours that the conversation changes how you think about it. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, those people are concentrated in one place.

Turn 10,000+ attendees into the people who’ll actually push the needle

Big events create possibilities. The trick is making them useful. At Disrupt, you can schedule 1:1 meetings, powered by AI-powered matchmaking through the TechCrunch Events app, and use the dedicated Networking Lounge across all three days. Alongside that are industry meetups, roundtable sessions, and the conversations that happen when thousands of people building, funding, and scaling technology companies move through the same space. Plus, the countless impromptu meetings that happen from running into the right person, anywhere in the venue.

Go beyond the LinkedIn profile

There’s a difference between knowing who someone is and actually having a conversation with them. A 15-minute meeting can tell you more about a founder than weeks of following their company online. A conversation with an investor can help you understand what they are really looking for. Meeting another operator can surface an answer to a challenge you assumed was unique to your team.

And sometimes the useful conversation is the one you didn’t schedule. The founder sitting next to you before a session. The investor asking the question you were thinking about. The person you meet after a roundtable because you’re both trying to solve the same problem. That proximity matters.

Make three days work for you

You could spend months trying to arrange the individual conversations that become possible over three days at Disrupt. So don’t just build a session schedule. Build a networking schedule.

Identify who you want to meet using the event app. Book your 1:1s. Leave space for the unexpected. Walk the Expo Hall. Stay for the meetups. Talk to the person standing next to you, because one useful conversation can outlast the entire event.
