2 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Sep 25

$75 Expo+ passes are being offered to the first 100 qualifying laid-off tech workers for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, with the deal ending when the allotment runs out or doors open October 13 at 8 a.m. PT.
The discounted pass is aimed at job seekers looking to reenter the tech market through networking at the October 13-15 event at San Francisco's Moscone West.
More than 10,000 attendees and 300-plus exhibiting startups are expected, giving pass holders access to the Expo Hall, breakout sessions, side events and the event app's AI-powered matchmaking and 1:1 meeting tools.
The Expo+ pass does not include industry stages or roundtables, positioning the offer as a lower-cost route into Disrupt's startup ecosystem rather than full conference access.
