If you’ve been laid off, you can get a TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 Expo+ Pass for just $75. The offer is limited to the first 100 qualifying people, or until Disrupt doors open on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. Once all 100 passes are claimed, the offer is no longer available.
Don’t let a layoff keep you on the sidelines. Come to Disrupt, meet new people, explore new opportunities, and take your next step. Grab your Layoff Expo+ Pass before all 100 are claimed, or by the time Disrupt kicks off on October 13.
Your next job opportunity could be one conversation away at Disrupt
When you’re in between jobs, networking can be critical. Disrupt gives you three full days to make meaningful connections in one place.
Meet companies and discover opportunities
At the center of Disrupt is the Expo Hall, where all 10,000+ attendees converge — founders, investors, tech leaders, innovators, and builders. Explore 300+ exhibiting startups, connect directly with founders and tech leaders, learn about new companies, and put yourself in the room for your next career opportunity.
Build your network
You don’t have to wait until Disrupt to grow your network. Start networking as soon as you buy your ticket and download the TechCrunch Events app. Use the app’s AI-powered matchmaking to discover relevant people and make connections based on your interests and goals. Then take those connections offline through 1:1 meetings, conversations in the Expo Hall, and events throughout Disrupt.
Learn what’s next in the startup ecosystem
Get practical insights through breakout sessions and get your questions answered directly by the tech leaders shaping the startup and technology landscape. Take what you learn back to your job search, your next interview, or your next career move.
Get out of the job-search loop
Disrupt isn’t just about finding an open role. It’s a chance to meet people you wouldn’t encounter through a job board, learn about companies before you apply, and put yourself in conversations that can lead somewhere unexpected.
