The deadline to apply for hosting an official Side Event during TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is set for tonight, September 11, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, according to TechCrunch.

This opportunity allows companies and organizations to showcase their innovations and engage with the tech community during one of the industry’s leading conferences. Interested parties must submit their applications before the cutoff to be considered.

Given Japan's growing influence in technology and startup ecosystems, local firms and investors may find participating in TechCrunch Disrupt particularly advantageous for networking and exposure in global markets.
