TechCrunch has secured negotiated hotel rates at properties near Moscone West for its Disrupt 2026 conference, running October 13-15. The publication partnered directly with local hotels to lock in discounted pricing for event attendees.
Disrupt remains one of the tech industry's largest annual gatherings, drawing thousands of founders, investors, and operators to San Francisco. The conference typically fills nearby hotels quickly, making advance room booking critical for attendees. By negotiating block rates with properties adjacent to the venue, TechCrunch aims to simplify logistics and reduce accommodation costs for participants.
The move reflects standard practice for major tech conferences seeking to smooth the attendee experience. Early partnership agreements with hotels allow organizers to guarantee room availability while hoteliers benefit from predictable occupancy during the event window.
Attendees should book directly through TechCrunch's designated hotel portal to access the negotiated rates, as standard online booking platforms typically don't reflect conference partnerships.
