For two decades, TechCrunch has provided a front row view to the future of technology, shaping conversations that matter and spotlighting the next big things before they break — both on the page and in person at our world-renowned events.
This year, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re launching our most ambitious events calendar yet for 2025. From intimate roundtables to our flagship Disrupt conference, we’re bringing together the brightest minds in tech, venture capital, and entrepreneurship to continue our legacy of industry-leading gatherings. This milestone year promises unprecedented opportunities for founders, investors, and innovators to connect, share insights, and shape the future of technology.
TechCrunch Disrupt
October 27-29, 2025
San Francisco, California
TechCrunch Disrupt, our flagship event, returns for our 20th anniversary as the definitive gathering place for the tech, venture, and startup worlds. This won’t be your average Disrupt, either. Raising the bar even higher this year, founders whose journeys we have tracked since the start — along with top investors and Silicon Valley’s rising stars — will come together for a three-day celebration of the people and products that have changed, and are continuing to change, the world.
Our legendary Disrupt stage — which has launched countless tech giants and unicorns since 2005 — stands ready to mint the next generation of pioneers.
Disrupt is more than an event. It is the definitive place to hear and learn from the people who are shaping our technological future. From founders breaking through the noise, to startup enthusiasts joining the ecosystem, to investors seeking the next big thing, Disrupt remains the industry’s most powerful launchpad for success.
With 100+ exhibitors and 10,000+ attendees, these three days of pure opportunity continue our tradition of spotlighting future icons like Mark Zuckerberg, Anne Wojcicki, and Whitney Wolfe Herd. Join the community that’s been discovering and nurturing extraordinary success stories for two decades.
