Side Events at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025
Side Event during TechCrunch Disrupt Week
While the Disrupt stages lead the discussion on tech’s future, Side Events keep it going. Think of them as bonus forums for connection — panels, workshops, and socials designed to spark collaboration, highlight fresh voices, and bring the community closer together. Whether you’re a founder, builder, investor, or tech enthusiast, these gatherings give you more chances to engage, exchange ideas, and discover what’s next.
Make the most of Disrupt Week, October 25–31.
