A week-wide envelope around three show days
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 occupies Moscone West from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 15 October. The organiser's own schedule around those three days runs wider. The side events page dates Disrupt Week to October 10-16, and its dated list runs from a Saturday morning workshop to a Friday morning waterfront run.
Monday carries the first demand clock
Badge collection opens Monday 12 October, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at Moscone West. The agenda files the window as Early badge pickup and carries the line Beat the rush and come by Moscone West to pick up your badge before Disrupt starts. The same day carries the note No sessions on this day.
The evening slate spans six dates
The side events page carries a dated list with a start and an end on every entry. Saturday 10 October carries one event, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Sunday 11 October carries three, running 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday 12 October carries four, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. through 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday 13 through Thursday 15 October each carry an evening slate with its first start at 5:00 p.m. Friday 16 October carries a 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. waterfront run, a 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. gathering and a 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. closer.
The page states that more side events will be added.
The three show days on published clocks
Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday 13 October and runs to 5:00 p.m. The expo hall runs 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, and the networking lounge runs 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The registration desk sits in the Level 1 lobby of Moscone West and the Expo Hall on Level 2.
The closing day runs shorter. Registration and the expo close at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday 15 October, and the Thursday evening slate runs from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and past it.
The same three days carry a second show
The Moscone Center's own events feed returns two records for the 13 to 15 October window. TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 carries the location Moscone West. SEMICON West 2026 carries the same dates and the location Moscone North and South. The venue's page for SEMICON West reads IN-PERSON, October 13 - October 15, 2026, Moscone North and South.
What the envelope means as nights
Read as nights, the published clocks put the earliest demand night on Saturday 10 October and the latest on Friday 16 October, seven nights to a Saturday 17 October checkout. A delegate who attends the show floor alone needs three nights, Tuesday 13 October to a Friday 16 October checkout. The extra nights come from the Saturday workshop, the Monday badge window and the Sunday and Friday evening slates.
What the day-use platforms show for those three days
The day-use read for the show window sits in the district around Moscone West. Dayuse carries a San Francisco city page and lists Hotel Zelos San Francisco among its day-use properties. Hotel Zelos sits 0.3 miles from Moscone West and publishes day windows that start at 8 a.m. and run to 11 p.m.
hotelSlots publishes a United States directory and carries a San Francisco page. Neither platform publishes a rate that holds across the three show days, so a delegate confirms the window and the price on the day.
The clock that matters for a day room is the Thursday 3:30 p.m. close. A block that releases at 3:30 p.m. leaves the evening slate open. An operator who prices the room by the hour works the 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. floor on the closing day.
