TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will stage “From Prototype to Production: Can It Scale in Reality?” on October 13–15 in San Francisco, focusing on how startups turn promising AI prototypes into dependable products.
Three speakers anchor the session: MBRYONICS CEO John Mackey on scaling space-communications manufacturing, Bedrock Robotics co-founder Boris Sofman on deploying autonomy safely, and Foxglove co-founder Adrian Macneil on infrastructure for production systems.
The discussion centers on problems that emerge once technology leaves controlled environments, including reliability, manufacturing capacity, deployment infrastructure and day-to-day operations.
Disrupt is expected to draw 10,000+ founders, investors and operators across 250+ sessions, with organizers offering up to $200 off passes before September 25.
